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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
