  • love love love this lens

  • April 01, 2011

This lens is my baby. Amazing picture quality, amazing build quality. Sharp as a tack and fast. The manual focus ring is nice and smooth and easy to use. The VR is an asset. Not the lightest lens, but the quality is top notch. Even had water spilled on mine, no damage (other than the small heart attack I had at the time).

  • Great Quality lens

This lens is a multi-purpose jewel. It is an amazing macro lens, and great for portraits too. The VR is a great asset for hand-held macro work. Sharp optics, and can be used with all 3 TCs to increase the magnification.

  • The best

  • March 26, 2012
  • By: Alexander

This is tied as my current favorite lens along with my 35mm f/2. The sharpness of this lens is absolutely spot on and the autofocus is fast and accurate. This lens is on my camera a lot and i almost always use it for portraits when im in the studio. Also, having it on a DX body increases the magnification and makes it an even more powerful macro. I would definitely recommend this lens to anybody, especially those interested in portraiture where space is not an issue (large studio or outdoor).

Picked up this lens last week, and haven't been able to stop smiling since. It's amazing and a total dream to work with. Super sharp, great in low light, great bokeh, focus limiter means very fast focusing when used for normal telephoto...amazing all around. This one is definitely a keeper, and worth every penny. Highly recommended.

  • Excellent lens

  • February 11, 2012
  • By: Anthony

I've had this lens for about a year now, and it's absolutely fantastic. It's extremely sharp and gives beautiful bokeh. The f/2.8 is very useful, not only for depth-of-field but also for helping freeze your subject, which can be challenging when shooting macro. For anyone looking to get a macro lens, it's worth the extra cost to get this one over the other Nikkor options. Even DX users will appreciate this lens...I use it on a D40x, and when I'm not using it for macro shooting it doubles as a great telephoto lens (105 is about 150mm on DX). Focus works great too (especially the focus limiter, so you can speed up autofocus when using it for regular telephoto). Excellent glass, for an excellent price. Definitely recommended.

  • A Real PROFESSIONAL Lens, But I lke it too.

Simply Awesome!!!! My lovely Wife purchased this lens for me as a Christmas gift. It's fast, reliable, smooth, crisp, quiet and did I mention it takes incredible photos? I wanted a lens that was able to take extreme close ups... and this baby delivers. The AF works flawlessly and the VR is first rate, even close up. Portraits have never looked finer. A bit heavy but I don't mind. (Just a constant reminder of the quality built into this lens.) Wouldn't want to be without this beauty in my case. I LOVE IT. Thanks Colleen

  • Amazing

  • November 06, 2011
  • By: nick

just bought this lens, Pro quality unbelievably sharp, accurate auto focus. good in manual as well I found the focus in AF hunting for real close up work and had difficulty with white objects locking on target. sometimes auto focus seams to stall and you have to focus away and then retry. not sure if this is me learning the lens or if it is a build problem with this particular lens.. overall impression I love the quality and speed of this lens in normal shooting as a prime. highly recommended.
