Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED 📷 Lens with AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR Technology Review

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…

no matter what they say, grams as a plus, because the heavier the lens with the carcass, and not rack your brains over the technical side of shooting (focusing, misses, XA and other things . ) except maybe AF 105/2 DC, but these are completely different tasks and money; )

Delightfully draws, no complaints, yes, there is sharpness on faces, but that's what photoshop is for, but go and look for someone who will draw a picture for you like this for a portrait.

Pros below: Good detail, dust and moisture protection, optical stabilizer, native lens. Some cons: Aperture (2.8-3.5) is not constant, noisy, The lens hood is in working condition like normal, but in the transportation mode it dangles on the lens (bought new) Expected more.

IF-ED VR at f/2.8G and 18-105 kit Learning begins with comparison! Let' Pl Nikkor 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR ED AF-S DX What is there to compare, then? Edge sharpness at aperture 8 is the maximum sharpness in 42 line pairs/mm at 105 and 35 at 18-105. A 105 delivers sharpness 44 at 5.6 in the center and 39 at 8 line pairs/mm, which is only +5%, and at 4 line pairs/mm for the frame edge, which is only +10%. However, the price ranges from 10,659 to 13,590 for the 3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR Nikkor…

Has some pros The sharpness is amazing. The pictures are clear, high quality, even at 100% crop. Cons: 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.

To date, this is the best lens for macro. In terms of image quality and design, it leaves sigma, tamrons and tokins far behind so that there is something to compare with. Different pros: Sharp and juicy picture. Presence of a stabilizer. Complete absence of distortion and low chromaticity. Constant dimensions. Small filter size. Fast and accurate autofocus. Convenient focal length for shooting small animals. Got cons: Expensive, large size and weight compared to analogues from other…

All in all a wonderful thing. For me, it’s quite professional, I use it both in portraits, landscapes, and in subjects. I advise! Its pros: Excellent picture quality and sharpness. And with an engine against lubrication and vibrations, everything becomes even more precise, it is almost impossible to remove lubrication, if only you try very hard. Different cons: Almost a year later, in a home-studio shooting with insufficient light (I used two flash-boots), it began to slow down, hovering and…

Also my favorite lens. I shoot portraits on it, and I’m really happy to the point of impossibility)) I love such clarity. Different pros: Excellent macro photography aperture If you shoot portraits with them (for which I bought it) it’s just awesome bokeh . Fast and incredibly clear. every eyelash, every hair is visible))) Consider that a telephoto (on a crop in general 157mm) Very well made. Has some cons Big, heavy Autofocus is sometimes dull. especially if you forget to switch the…

A very interesting lens. From an artistic point of view, it is beautiful, the picture is simply magical. From a technical point of view I didn’t understand why he needed a stub. It would be better if, instead of a stub, they thought out the design in such a way that the focusing distance did not change the aperture. Well, the price, to pay for something that is always "off" - I see no reason. Provided that the MDF is reached, the hole closes to f / 4.5, okay, the cameras are now with high…

A lot has already been said about this lens. As far as I know, the lens has no analogues at its focal length that would have the same geometry, which is extremely convenient as it makes it possible to focus faster and more accurately. In general, I agree with those who wrote about him before me. The lens is amazing and extremely easy to use. Draws a sharp picture. Chromatic aberrations, which some write about, were not noticed.

Alexander’s review was very amused, with impressive comparative characteristics. He’s probably with a whale, that’s how he goes all his life. After all, according to tests, there are no lenses 200% better. Or maybe these tests are to hell. Just put on the lens and feel it. I am very pleased. Especially since I bought an almost new Japanese for 700 bucks.

Magnificent glass. I use for advertising commercial photography (jewellery, food) and portraits. The sharpness and plasticity of the picture are at a height, the colors are excellent. Too high contrast for studio portraits with pulsed light (in my opinion). Otherwise, excellent glass. Who points out the lack of an unstable aperture relative to the focus point, they simply use f 2.8 as the base for macro, although this is fundamentally not true. Smoke manuals on macro photography, comrades :)

no matter what they say, but his drawing is portrait. I would rather write down the weight of 800 grams as a plus, because the heavier the lens with the carcass, the more stable they are in the hands. The construct is armored, moisture protection is good. The most favorite lens, because the pictures taken by it have some kind of barely noticeable magic. Such optics makes you improve in photography, and not rack your brains over the technical side of shooting (focusing, misses, XA and other…

In life, I would not have thought that at aperture 2.8 it gives out mega blur and very "expensive" bokeh, like in fifty dollars or in helios. A solid lens, high-quality, sharp and quite nimble. I haven’t had a chance to make a splash yet, but as a portrait photographer it’s very, very . The truth turns into a telephoto on a crop matrix, but if you have hands, the photographs are incomparable . A pleasant surprise, not a lens.

On the first day after the purchase, I shot macro. I was simply amazed by the capabilities of this lens. I confirm all the positive reviews, a great lens. Too sharp for portraits, but for objects a couple of millimeters in size, that's what you need. Perfect bokeh, good aperture, all-weather and powerful design. I bought it before the crisis, for a reasonable 25,000. A very good lens for those who like to shoot in nature and make masterpieces without much difficulty)!

A very chic lens. It looks solid and is very pleasant in the hands, despite the fact that it is very massive. Macro lovers should definitely take this lens, especially considering that it is well suited for shooting animals or portraits. Here below they wrote that it is overpriced and cheaper to take an 18-105 zoom lens, do not listen to this person. Firstly, this lens has better optics and assembly (despite China, Nikon still guarantees the quality, I have a Japanese Nikon lens, there is no…

Like Micro - very satisfied with 5 . Portrait for 5 (if a small room is not good - there is not enough distance) Reporting on 3 (heavy and you have to run back, which is not always possible) subject for 5++++++++ best result , very happy with it, I advise you to take you can see a lot of photos with NIKON 105 mm f / 2.8G AF-S VR Micro- http://fotkidepo.

I do not write in shortcomings because this is already the category of "nitpicking". And as you know, you can find fault with a pole. So, the lens that I got is quite noisy (in terms of sound!). I took a picture of a hedgehog almost "point-blank", the poor fellow was already shuddering from clicks and the "buzz" was very alarming (These were tests with VR and autofocus) :) And so, from owning this lens so far only positive emotions! Very, very much!

Delightfully draws, excellent macro. But even at a distance it provides a very balanced, delicate flattening. I have been using it for more than three years, no complaints, all mechanisms work. I also use it for portraits: yes, there is sharpness on faces, but that's what photoshop is for, but go and look for someone who will draw a picture for you like this for a portrait.
