  | sent on 24 Novembre 2025 Pros: Best for macro AF Cons: Weight and size at the limit Opinion: I have used for a long time lighter and more compact macro lenses such as 60 AFD and 85 DX even on D800/850, lenses that however pay a price in terms of performance to this "beast". In reality it still handles well and is very balanced on D850, I would say that weight and bulk are at the limit for intensive use freehand but do not exceed this limit. The files are of absolute quality in terms of sharpness, blur and colors, even VR and AF work really well. I use it exclusively handheld and I think it's the best AF around, for manual focus from tripods there would be a separate chapter to do (100/2 Zeiss Makro, 150 Irix etc) |
 | sent on 24 Agosto 2019 Pros: Sharpness, VR and performance. Cons: Heavy and heavy. Clumsy. Opinion: From the macro point of point, it excels and there is little to say. Having the VR (in the easel macro the VR is on Off as far as I'm concerned), you would expect to use it in other situations as well (although being less specialized for them). On this you have a big, heavy and clumsy lens. Compared, for example, to the micro 105 AFD in this sense there is no comparison (the current will also be a better performing hair - had both - , but in terms of weight and size we are really on two different planets). So I'd think hard about what I'd like to use it and what logistics I'd be moving with. |
  | sent on 02 Aprile 2019 Pros: Sharpness... Exceptional Cons: For now nothing.. Maybe the footprint Opinion: FIRST macro experience... I was "Basito" for the sharpness.. I took it to amaze myself and use it with Z7. I only did 2 sessions, and I was thrilled... Used with a monopod on the adaptor ring of Z7 it scales very well and you can "commute" to the focus.. Keep in mind that at Diaphragms also closed the depth of field at 30-50 cm is a few millimeters (see table). In the first two sessions a good percentage of shots were (for me) exceptional (something I put so NIkon club) CLAUDIO-LM |
  | sent on 22 Febbraio 2018 Pros: Definition, helicoid for manual focusing in macro, color rendering and excellent balance with machine bodies of the D8xx and D5xx series Cons: Nothing special Opinion: I state that I have in the kit all 105 Micro with manual focus and AF starting from the legendary 105/4, so I appreciate the macro capabilities of this lens that is the direct heir of a lucky model became the "micro" par excellence of Nikon .rnThe VR version adds the stabilization that can be of some use in macro, although quite limited, while it is certainly irreplaceable in normal use, especially with pixel-rich sensors.rnA years later it is still able to surprise me with the richness of the detail and color rendering, especially on important parts of the macro world as the composite eyes of insects.rnIt 'incredible satisfaction that can give, especially in the usual use for me freehand.rnrnQui I collected some shots made with this exceptional lens : rnrnhttps: //www.flickr.com/photos/henry62/albums/72157663955540877rn |

 | sent on 20 Febbraio 2017 Pros: Sharpness, stabilizer, quality construction Cons: AF a little slow, but I do not know whether to call a minus, the end is a macro! so it is not essential. Opinion: It purchased about two years ago, replacing the equally good Tamron 180mm f / 3.5. The presence of the stabilizer is already perceived as a good assistant in critical cases, I often find myself in very uncomfortable conditions where to place the tripod. It found an excellent sharpness, and so true that I use for portraits because it is too incisive sull'incarnato, better to use other lenses. Robust and well built, it is felt immediately as soon as you have in your hands. I use both FF reflex that APS-C, with the latter we really enjoy it a lot because I get a focal length of 157,5mm f / 2.8. The AF is not instantaneous, but those who seek this in a macro lens probably has no clear idea. Almost always focheggio hand, so it is by no means essential, at least for me. |

| sent on 12 Febbraio 2017 Pros: Versatility of use free hand / stand Cons: high cost for a lens which has over ten years Opinion: I state that I have used this lens only in macro and close-up and practically very little in portrait. The Nikkor 105mm has been my lens for macro for four years, and the objective that I have used more than ever. Excellent bokeh, good sharpness. A free hand with stabilizer function I noticed some noise, nothing great, but there. The weight makes it indicated on machines such as D7000 (and the two upper) or D300 / D500, while on slight entry level there is a certain imbalance, and the absence of a collar for the tripod does not make it completely suitable for shooting from a tripod. In a couple of cases I've also used for landscape photography and I was impressed by the results. Incomprehensible as it were to figures more acceptable in 2013 when I bought it than it is now, with the same type of guarantee. For over 10 years, would require a revision of prices or a new edition. |
 | sent on 12 Febbraio 2017 Pros: Construction, 2.8, VR, Sharpness, Blurry, Macro Cons: slow and ruomoroso AF, to tame Opinion: I had it in the car four days for a couple of sets of portrait and I was able to squeeze us fondo.rnNiente different than what was said by those before me, but I would say more that the AF and VR are slow rumorosi.rnPer portraiture and the use that I made, it was not easy to use, even at 2.8, with good sharpness, the pdc is very narrow: focusing on the breast, for example, the eyes already appear less sharp. rnDirei which is not a lens for those who are the first armi.rn |
 | sent on 26 Giugno 2016 Pros: colors, blur, sharpen, well built Cons: vr, af slow and uncertain times Opinion: great lens for macro not too pushed, you can safely use freehand although vr is not exactly latest generation, well built and well balanced, releases color fidelity with an enviable blurred, and a sharpness to top.l'AF not it is a lightning but in macro is not critical, sometimes in low light or with parties struggling hard to keep up but still highly recommended hard to better. |
 | sent on 19 Febbraio 2016 Pros: blurred, rendering color, sharpness, construction, vr, works with nikon tc Cons: lack collar for tripod Opinion: I had so many macro lenses and I have to say that with this I found the peace of mind, as well as macros thanks to a good VR also use it by hand for portraits and I like the blurred and colors that returns. I use it often with a TC17 and the results are not bad at all. The focus is precise, silent and fast enough on D800, even if not meteoric. The only drawback for me is the lack of a collar with a foot mount it on three feet, to use it with extension tubes must strive much given its weight. However recommended |
 | sent on 26 Gennaio 2016 Pros: Quality construction is that of surrender Cons: AF, cost Opinion: Very good for macro photography. I have not found better. I was not happy for portraiture .. and I tried often. Removed this is a lens that would recommend without worries of mind. It weighs a bit and if you use it for so long you miss it, but it's solid and sturdy, conveys solidity. To use the macro always MAF manual, because even with the AF I was pretty bad and used a couple of times I just stopped doing it. For portraiture it works well, but I never won, a little to the focal length, a little to personal taste. Surely even for my very poor skills portraitist .. I gave him a 7 because I liked it but I was hooked. |
 | sent on 18 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Sharpness, construction, VR Cons: Weight Opinion: Outstanding optics. It 'was the first lens "PRO" that I bought. Solid as a rock (and just as heavy ...) and crystal clear. The VR is an added value. Although not essential for macro photography, I admit that I often was useful, in conjunction with the macro flash kit, to take photographs macro freehand rnNon ... I can recommend it. |
 | sent on 21 Novembre 2015 Pros: reproduction ratio 1: 1, sharpness, VR, materials, construction Cons: nothing is practically perfect Opinion: This amazing 105 AFS surpasses the 105 AFD, which has come to replace, this is a professional lens, you see and feel. Fully built in metal alloy, fast and accurate AF engine, VR efficient, unmatched optical quality, stratospheric, three-dimensional color rendering. It can also be used for general photos. What to say, this optic should not miss the nikon integral. Voting 10 with praise. NOTICE: The writer is not an influencer or a guru, nor does one who downloads other images from the network to impersonate unlikely comparisons. For almost forty years, a passionate nikonist of photography and photographic material has been, and my opinion is not a gospel, but only the result of empirical experience. The objects I write really buy them, I play a few months and if I do not like them, but always and in any case of material at the moment in my possession. I do not make the copy paste of reviews taken here and there in the net, if I speak of an object it is only andsince I had in my house the necessary time (at least months) to try to understand it. I often go against current, but this does not take my sleep, as far as possible I try to help young aspiring photographers who give a weight to their savings. But, I repeat, I do not bring the verb ... |
 | sent on 25 Ottobre 2015 Pros: Sharpness, construction, VR, ring MAF Cons: It tends to get too much dust in my opinion Opinion: The weight and the cost in my opinion are not defect to quest'ottica.Ciò that I find incredibly annoying and irritating is located in the back where the lens closest to the sensor, I think it is constructed so as to prevent dust, perhaps too much .for the rest from the perspective incredibile.Personalmente sharpness I use it more in the portraits in macro |
 | sent on 02 Giugno 2015 Pros: Sharpness, VR, AF, Construction Cons: Size and Weight, Price, Focus Breathing the minimum distance of focus Opinion: And a crystal-clear lens with VR phenomenal and a good autofocus; pity about the focus breathing at the minimum distance of focus that cuts the focal length and actually prevents the focus stacking, but a defect of all the IF. With the competition that's out there and the quality we offer others (see Tamron VC 90), however, the price seems a bit 'high and unjustified. |
 | sent on 01 Giugno 2015 Pros: sharpness, blur Cons: weight Opinion: wonderful for flowers; great at high ISO. thanks to the stabilization and high brightness allows photos without a tripod even in low light conditions as in the woods. personally I use it for photo macro detail of flowers and always with manual focus so I can not comment sull'autofocus |
 | sent on 08 Febbraio 2015 Pros: Sharpness and versatility Cons: Lack lock nut focus Opinion: I have used for years this fantastic lens before me steal, to photograph surgery in the oral cavity, in combination with a size dx and a ring flash Sigma. This application is great because the focal length allows you to not have to get too close to the patient, but it is also great for use out of the operating room. Exceptional for its use as a medium telephoto portraits and, in short: "the lens" par excellence, the best I've ever used. When I had to buy back a macro I chose the 85mm, but it is not the same thing, although this a decent yield. If you need to precisely find a defect is the absence of a screw to lock the ring of the focusing. To always have the same magnification, I choose usually the ratio 1: 2 and I focus approaching or moving away from the subject. If you inadvertently moved the dial, the images are homogeneous. |
 | sent on 10 Novembre 2014 Pros: clarity, focus, flexibility, efficient VR Cons: size and weight Opinion: Use in all-optical field with his brother 60mm / 2.8 G.rnSecondo me is a canvas suitable for all: macro, far, portraits, ecc.rnHo had other 105mm, the f2.8 Micro AIS, 2, 5 AI, it can easily replace them entrambi.rnL'unico "negative" aspect is its size and weight, but on the other hand if you want quality optics, VR, strength, a price you have to pay well. |
 | sent on 12 Marzo 2014 Pros: Fantastic sharpness, focus, lightning, good VR, quality / price. Cons: Dimensions, Weight Opinion: I state that before making my choice I asked a lot of opinions and views, I did some tests and comparisons between these viewpoints: (-Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8 G ED VR Nikon AF Micro-200mm f / 4 D IF ED Micro Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro), but then I chose Nikon AF-S 105mm; When I had to buy the lens I was in possession of a D7000 where its optical field of the lens is equivalent to 157 millimeters and not little, comparing other lenses Nikon AF 200mm and 150mm Sigma seemed too long and difficult, (more field you + is difficult to manage) and lens quality as they were all excellent and everyone I spoke bene.rnLa resolution of the Nikkor 105 is fantastic already fully open both the center and the edges, the best performance is achieved with the opening between f / 4 and f/5.6, this macro lens is virtually free of distortion and vignetting is almost nothing this' optical presented the lens (Nano Crystal) treatment that eliminates internal lens riflessi.rnLa mechanical quality and aesthetics externalof the lens is very good, objective is rather fat and heavy due to the VRII and internal focusing, for all of these aspects is considered a lens PRO.rnSe compare quality / price I would say that this perspective is well mercato.rnOra coupled with the D300s is an outstanding optics, I'm really happy with my purchase, and the consiglio.rn |
 | sent on 17 Febbraio 2013 Pros: Perfect focus, incredible sharpness, VR impeccable, beautiful blurred, also great for portraits Cons: Weight, no tripod socket Opinion: Objective fantastic, the best I have in my set. Surprisingly immediately for its sharpness and speed of focus in close ups (even if in the macro is better to work in manual). Long hood and functional lens free of chromatic aberration, catches the eye the perfect solidity and construction, in short, a very respectable lens that is worth what it costs. A bit 'slower in focus in portraits but has the ability to reduce the ring of MAF to speed up the action. VR excellent workmanship that allows you to work in a shorter time without using a tripod. Recommended by 10 votes without any second thoughts. rnUnico defect: the absence of a tripod socket, which would return very useful to balance the weight on the same stand (7 ects are not a few), not that it is impractical to use, but for a more good stability would require a head for stand firmer. |
 | sent on 11 Novembre 2011 Pros: EVERYTHING. Objective incisissimo, fast focus, excellent stabilizer Cons: The quality weights. Opinion: Objective quality only carves out a place among the best first home Nikon. The VR works very well and the focus over 5 meters snaps and chases with excellent speed. Although it is a macro lens with performances closely noteworthy is a lens that also allows for infinitely gratifying results. The ring focus mellow and generous allows fine focusing extremely useful in macro photography. The construction of absolute solidity conveys a reassuring feeling. There is little else to say. It 'a lens that in spite of the weight must find a place in your backpack. |
 | sent on 08 Ottobre 2011 Pros: Contains virtually all the advanced technologies from Nikon: Nikon anti-reflective coating N (nanocoated lens), ultrasonic motor (AFS), a very effective system of vibration reduction (VR) Cons: Maybe a little? big Opinion: In hand conveys a feeling of strength and solidity and mechanically seems well built. This is not to say that vuolo can not break. Focusing the lens vertically downwards in autofocus and I had a break of the same. Now vertically, as a precaution, I always focus manually! Very clear right from the maximum aperture to f / 8. From f / 8 onwards close the diaphragm does not lead to an increase of sharpness (that is reduced), but only of depth of field. I tried to use it with the TC 20E III and the results were very positive, even if the combination is to be considered for casual use. But I can say that although the lens is versatile and can be used for landscapes, portraits, etc.., Is a lens that results from high level when shooting at close range and macro. |
