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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

China is proudly written on the lens, but it works perfectly. And now about the features. 105mm is a versatile macro lens. With such a focal length, it can be used as a portrait lens. And now about the features of the lens. due to its 105 mm, it can cause some degree of inconvenience. For example, let’s say you want to take a picture of a beautifully decorated meal. I mean not a staged photo, but so, from the fly. And in order for your beautifully-decorated cake to enter the frame, you will have to get up from the table and move away for some distance. So for such purposes it is better to take a smaller makrik. But when shooting insects, the opposite is true: even approaching the insect at the minimum focusing distance, the insect still occupies a small part of the frame and then you have to sprinkle it. For shooting insects, 150-200 mm macros are better suited. So this lens, like any "station wagon" has its compromises. But I keep it and I’m not going to change it to any other, because I’m quite satisfied with the quality of this glass, the convenience of this lens for different situations, as well as the relatively compact size for this class of lenses. After more than a year of use, the lens hood fastening thread was worn out and it began to dangle

Pros
  • Sharp, pleasant bokeh, stabilizer, protected.
Cons
  • It is a versatile macro lens. When shooting insects, this was revealed as a disadvantage.
