Pros: very robust, spectacular yield

Cons: Slow AF

Opinion: I bought the 105 micro used many years ago, making it a use for naturalistic macro even in very difficult field conditions (cave, marshes...) The yield is simply perfect, from 1:1 to infinity. Apart from the sharpness (which is obviously excellent) I especially appreciate the soft rendering of the colors and the always very pleasant blurry The main defect is the self-focus. In macro, the AF struggles to keep behind the small movements of the photographer or subject. When photographing distant objects, the AF is decidedly slow. Very robust. A few years ago at the exit of a cave my car made a jump of over 10 meters into the woods (with the case). The lens remained fully functional, the shot slightly slowed down the autofocus (and the photoriparator managed to put it back in place for a few tens of €)

Pros: Sharp, versatile and lightweight.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: A gorgeous lens at a price (now on used) really contained. The technical project is first-class. The structure is solid and compact. Light and versatile because its size and yield make it usable even in non-macro situations. In its native environment (the macro) it excels for sharpness and clarity. I have always really had a lot of fun with this lens and I will want to take it back because it has from its characteristics that, for me, I do not find even in newer and more emponate lenses (size-weight-versatility in the first place).

Pros: Metal construction, sharpness, color rendering

Cons: Af slow and not always accurate. Lack vr.

Opinion: Purchased used in perfect condition. The metal construction is immediately appreciate the solidity. The weight is important but mounted on the D7100 is however well balanced. Use for macro with excellent color rendering and very pleasantly blurred. In the infinite loses some '. Shortly hand practical freedom for the absence of the stabilizer, the present instead of the second-generation model but it costs three times. On stand, and subject to the maximum catch. rnAutofocus slow and running with motor reflex and often inaccurate so that most of the time is more immediate switch to manual focus using the live view.

Pros: Sharpness, availability, price

Cons: af slowness, lack stabilizer

Opinion: Bought used, it is still a good target ... the construction is excellent, all metal, and also feels the weight, the dimensions are reduced, the sharpness is excellent, even at full aperture ... has a ratio of 1: 1, but he does not have the stabilizer ... if you use it only for macro photos, this is not a problem, but if like me you use it also for high-contrast, detailed portraits, could make comfortable; as the last thing the maf: extremely slow (like all macro), fairly accurate, though sometimes cane, to infinity is not to be used; convenient focus limiter to fuoco.rné good lens that is located around 300 euro nell'usato.Mi feel absolutely to advise

Pros: Metal construction, not too heavy

Cons: Sharpness focus infinity

Opinion: L I bought yesterday, found in excellent condition from my dealer for 240 Euros including adapter, was looking for a macro lens 1: 1 for my Fuji XT10 without spending a fortune (although loving macro, then we must see how I'll use it effectively ) and I wanted to avoid the 60 Fuji. Today I went out and I have to say that the macro satisfied me. Not too long distances instead as someone has already pointed out, but the thing I care relatively, for what I have 55-200. I want to try in the portraits in TA, in any case I think D have made a good buy at a figure that -peraltro honest - the same dealer has already stated its readiness and give me at any time if I wanted to render it take another X (we will see how the 120 Fuji: -) ....)
