Review on Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED πŸ“· Lens with AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR Technology by Kung Chai ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

I bought this lens as my first. I want to note right away that it is complex and I had to get used to it. He has a lot of working nuances that you have to take into account if you want to get good material. Immediately what caught my eye was that he did not have a constant aperture ratio. You won't get 2.8 in close range. Maybe this is true, since macro shooting is always a great depth of field. Therefore, you should always take a tripod. Another point - it can be slow and this is a real problem. The bug will not wait for you. Having also spent a month in South America in the jungle, I realized that he was not protected at all! Had to be cleaned upon arrival. He sucked it all up! As for the material - no questions! Good color reproduction, ringing sharpness especially at f8, Powerful stabilizer. According to the stub, I can say one thing, if someone claims that he is not needed in macro, he is lying! Stabik saved me more than once. The main thing is to know how to use it! And yes, you can hear it!) It's like a monster that eats a battery charge. Take it, you won't regret it, it's beautiful! Just be careful in nature. But not sealed. Below are examples from it.

Got pros: well, you just want to forget that you shot in macro before. Has cons: Weight? Is 800 grams of good Japanese metal-weight? Price? And offer at least something reminiscent, cheaper, or for this price.

To date, it leaves sigma, tamrons and tokins far behind so that there is something to compare with.

The lens is good from all sides: ultra-fast, quiet and comfortable, fast aperture. Yes, even with a stabilizer and full-fledged macro capabilities (reproduction scale 1: 1) There is no such combination of properties on the full-frame optics market for Nikon yet. It's also not too bulky and light enough.

Has some pros The sharpness is amazing. The pictures are clear, high quality, even at 100% crop. Cons below: It's a little heavy, considering that I carry three lenses with me. Either remove the hood completely or put it on, otherwise it closes all the buttons on the lens.

Its pros: Cutting! The detail is just bomb! For subject matter and macro, the perfect lens! Some cons: In a poorly lit space, autofocus is a little dull.

Pros below: Sharpness, speed, compactness, stabilizer! Has cons: None. A true uncompromising macro lens.
