Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED brings the benefits of vibration reduction (VR) to the domain of Macro photography. It offers high-resolution, high-optical performance for both digital and 35mm film format SLR cameras. This lens incorporates Nikon's second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure quiet autofocusing with quick and convenient switching between autofocus and manual operation. Optical performance is enhanced by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration, and Nano Crystal Coat which drastically reduces flare, enabling finely defined, clear images.

Product Description

Nikon's lens AF-S VR 105 mm f/2.8G IF-ED offers vibrating reduction advantages (VR)  to the macrophotography. Its high resolution and its excellent optical performances are both designed for digital and silver SLRs 24x36, which makes this a very interesting and nifty device if you posess both kinds. This lens integrates Nikon's second generation vibration reduction system (VR II), facilitating the shooting without tripod. You also have the possibility of a 4 times slower closing time than with standard lenses without VR in order to obtain stable pictures. The SWM motor (Silent Wave Motor) and the internal focus (IF) guarantee a silent focussing and the change from autofocus to manual one can be done instantaneously. A circular diaphragm with 9 lamellas offers an even more natural restitution of the un-focussed elements. The optical performances will benefit of the advantages of a ED (Extra low Dispersion) lens out of glass, diminishing the chromatic aberrations, as well as the nanocrystal treatment reducing the parasite images. With the AF-S VR 105 mm f/2.8G IF-ED, your pictures will be clear and very detailed.

5.0 out of 5 stars S T U N N I N G, 3 Jan 2008
By A. J. Firmin "MadMacMan" (Mancheser, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This lens is absolutely stunning. I use this for portraiture work all the time and the results are incredibly sharp. In fact they are so so sharp Warburtons could use it for slicing bread!!l

Although it has macro capability I have not used this apart from checking that it doeswork. And I don't use the VR either but have tested it and it works brilliantly.

I have not had any problems with hunting/chasing with the focusing - its probably the way the previous reviewer has his focus points set in his camera. I use it on a D2H, D2X and a Fuji S5 Pro and it works great.

Prime lenses are not for everyone but the results you get are of a much higher quality than zooms but zooms give flexibility. The choice is yours but I would go for quality over flexibility every time.

And this lens is quality. Period.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, 16 Aug 2009
By Robert Groom (UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Nikon 105MM AF-S VR II F2.8D Micro Nikkor Lens (Electronics)
I originally bought this lens strictly for macro use, and for this it is extremely competent. It is just so sharp, and autofocus works well, even when in macro mode. If you are not using a tripod, then the VR function is a very great assistance even when shooting macro shots. This makes ad-hoc macro photography a possibility where having to unpack a tripod would be bothersome.

It didn't take me long though, to appreciate the fantastic potential this lens has for portraiture. The 105mm focal length and f2.8 maximum aperture are very useful for portraiture, and out-of-focus areas are rendered very softly with an attractive bokeh, approaching what you'll get from the masters of bokeh - the 70-200mm f2.8 VR and 85mm f1.4. In addition to this, in-focus areas are tack-sharp, though if you do want to soften the shot, or reasons of flattery, this can of course be done in post very easily. This ability effectively doubles the usefulness of this lens, and makes it one of the top performers in the Nikon range. I would put it in the top 5 most competent lenses along with the 14-24mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8 VR and 50mm f1.4 - some might insist the 85mm f1.4 be included, but I'd put this at no.6 because it's such a specialist item.

I have also used this lens for landscape photography. Its sharpness lends it well to this application, as long as you can achieve the crop you want with its fixed focal length. Yet another, if minor, string to its bow. It is, of course, fully corrected for FX, so you can use it with your D700, D3, or D3X with confidence.

The one negative point, and reason for only giving 4 stars, is that when shooting at the macro end of its range, adjusting focus also increases and decreases the size of the image in the frame - often quite significantly. This makes achieving a precise crop in frame at exact focus more difficult than it need otherwise be, and may prove irritating if you are a full time macro photographer. For me though, it's a worthwhile compromise for the very positive features of the lens, so I can strongly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best lens on my kit - 105mm f/2.8 VR, 30 Dec 2009
This review is from: Nikon 105MM AF-S VR II F2.8D Micro Nikkor Lens (Electronics)
This is simply the best lens that I have and I do have good fast glass... excellent bokeh and colour rendition, headshots with this one are really tack sharp and the macro is stunning (provided that you have good light). The only lens that might be better for headshots than this one is the 85mm f/1.4 (which is in my list but no funds for it yet), but this one is definitely an outstanding piece of engineering.

If you are serious about photography and use Nikon, this lens should be on your kit. It has replaced the 24-70 as the "always on" lens on my D300.
