I don't usually giv 5 stars to a photography product, because most of them are designed with tradeoffs (even the so called pro products) and the few that could be labeled "perfect" are only available at ridiculously high prices. The nikkor AF-S 105mm f2.8 micro is in my opinion a welcome exception. Quite simply and plainly, Nikon offers at a very competitive price probably the best macro lens in the world. Focal length was well thought and indeed 105mm is the best focal length for a macro lens. I ve tried 50mm, 60mm, 200mm near macro... 105mm offers the best distance from your (usually tiny) subject..... Glass quality is superb and the lens produces sharp images with accurately pleasing colors..... The inclusion of VR technology allows this lens to shoot in low light and / or lower iso settings, at slower than normal shutter speeds, effectively introducing macro photography to the hand holding shooter. Lens is light but robust and well made. Unlike most other macro lenses. the fornt part does not protrude while focusing and the front element does not rotate. Some of my better pictures accepted by Fotolia.com have been produced with this lens. As if the above was not enough, the 105mm macro can be used with great results as a standard 105mm stabilised lens for portaits and general photography. Finally, this is one of the few lenses compatible with the nikon tele converters (of which the 1.7x is a worthy accessory). Did I mention the price? The price is very good for such a product.Read full review
This is a great lens, probably the best I have ever used. Sharp as a razor blade, all metal construction, Vibration Reduction (VR)... The images are just amazing. VR enables handheld macro shots with a high hit rate. Is a pleasure to shoot with and every pictures look wonderful. It doubles as a very nice portrait tele. It makes you think that you're a great photographer! Highly Recommended!!!

A fabulous lens - equally at home with portraits as close up, and amazing sharpness. I’m aware that there are others such as the sigma and tamron - but if you do plump for the Nikon, you’ll have a very fine lens. And I’m picky!
