One of my favorite lenses
One of my favorite lenses
My copy of this lens was manufactured in 1984 and after having been beat and abused of many years it’s still going strong and used almost daily.
As an evidence photographer specializing in arson the bulk of my work is macro and this is my go to lens. I also use it for portraiture and whatever else catches my fancy.
It is clear, bright and easily focused on the modern DSLRs without a split screen prism. It produces beautiful images with excellent sharpness and contrast.
It’s only drawback is that it is not a true 1:1 but rather a 1:2 but shill an amazing lens.
Not should be made that some of the reviews here are not about this lens but one of the newer 105mm micros. This is a manual focus lens.

Exquisite Sharpness
This is one case where an older design is a superb design. I have used it for the past generation for everything from photographing dragonflies to flowers and for landscape photography in places like the heart of the Tibetan Plateau. It is sharp corner to corner, even wide open, will stand more accidental abuse than most lenses, and is bright enough in the viewfinder to work with effectively. Beautiful bokeh, for what it is worth. I would add the lens is also heavy, so think of it as a serious tool of glass and metal. But if you are seriously into macro, this is a life-long friend that will never grow old.

This is the NON VR - NON AF version.
It seems like quite a few of these reviews are of the VR/AF version of this lens... I just thought someone should point that out to anyone actually reading these because they want to buy the Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8.
I bought this lens last month and I'm thrilled with it. Finally what I see through the lens is the product I end up with... what a lovely concept. The tack sharpness combined with the most beautiful and subtle bokeh never ceases to amaze me. Great lens. Even without VR and AF.

loveeeeee this lens!
I purchased this lens a couple months ago and I love it! It's a bit expensive but well worth it. Also, it takes a little while to get use to but after that it's so fun to shoot with!
