Pros: Sharpness, weight, MAF, smoothness of the dials

Cons: Very flexible to the touch, non-adjustable and very short display life

Opinion: Undoubtedly a macro that does very well the yield and quality of the images are not in question, slightly longer than its little brother 105mm f/2.8 G ED VR but not for this heavier, transportable and with a very low weight, lens that does its job not only for macro but also for portraiture, maf precise and without delay (except for extreme light conditions) focus rings and apertures have a nice fluidity but remember that they are electronic and reprogrammable, so physically you don't move anything if you move them with the lens off. To date I have not found any particular aberrations or flares to report (in case I edit the post). Beautiful natural colors and very progressive and "pasty" blur. It has both the distance selector and the M/A maf selector, and a reprogrammable FN key. If nothing to say about the quality of the lenses, about the quality of the materials with which it is made are in my opinion very plasticky and not very quality, it certainly gains in lightness compared to the 105mm F-mount but parsonally I would have preferred to feel a little more quality at the expense of the weight for this reason my grade is 9. Last thing to point out is a made in thailand, against the old made in Japan. Here too, personally, I would have preferred the Japanese parent company, but now the market is like this.

Pros: Fantastic

Cons: Perhaps excessive battery consumption, but still to be verified

Opinion: Hello everyone, I have this wonderful lens, recently purchased, and since I bought it I have the impression that the moment I use it the camera battery drains faster. Does it happen to you too? I don't know if it's normal, or if it is, you'll have an explanation. Excuse the ignorance. Thank you all

Pros: Sharpness, ergonomics, lens hood, weight, oled display, 1:1 focus from f/4.5 to 51.

Cons: It lacks a physical button to activate or deactivate the stabilizer, OLED display timer too short, manual focus control only electronic, again and again Nikon offers the housing for CL-C6 lenses, these lenses deserve much more!

Opinion: First approach with this lens, which for me is the third macro lens. Nothing to say about the quality of the files it produces, coupled with my two Nikon Zs: the Z6II and the Z50. Well balanced, you have a product that, despite its mostly plastic construction, conveys a nice feeling of solidity and accuracy. Controls all at hand, physical keys with precise and soft engagements, the ring controls are very soft and very silent, the manual fire is "Stepper Motor", which involves a certain slowness of movement, you just have to get used to it, but it is not the best, the OLED multifunction display is very comfortable, too bad that the 10-second timer is rather insufficient, It saves energy, but you always have to act on the power button, I would also have preferred a physical button for activating or deactivating the stabilizer, but it is not a big problem, since it is mainly used for the use of the cameras on the tripod. The focus is extraordinarily efficient, the possibility in 1:1 mode to close down to f/51 I find striking, of course, diffraction allowing... But having such a high depth of field is one more possibility in the 1:1 macro world. On the quality of the files and the operating mode in a strictly macro environment, I reserve a more in-depth test, that's all for now!

Pros: all

Cons: nothing

Opinion: The most resolving optics I've ever owned.... for now I have only done static tests but you already understand everything very well ... I am a fan of sharpness and I believe that 100% magnification of files produced by the Z9 are the best proof of the quality of a lens... the thing that nn I expected was to find a similar engraving even at full opening .... What more do you want from a macro lens? As for the autofocus I can not yet say anything until nn come out insects ... You will see the possible difference with the other macros I owned.

Pros: lightness, sharpness, autofocus, spectacular manual focus. very fast. very good.

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Arrived today and tried immediately, excellent with the Z5: machine and lens very well balanced and light. a bit plastic if referred to the zeiss 100 but very manageable. only a few shots but I am already very satisfied with the choice. excellent button for focus limitation and well-built hood, with lock. excellent focus in manual.
