Used Nikon AF-S Micro 105mm f2.8G IF-ED VR Lens

The Nikon AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED lens is the ultimate choice for Nikon users looking for a macro lens. It offers high-resolution, high-optical performance for both digital and 35mm film format SLR cameras.
This lens incorporates Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure quiet autofocusing with quick and convenient switching between autofocus and manual operation.

Optical performance is enhanced by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration, and Nano Crystal Coat which drastically reduces flare, enabling finely defined, clear images. We love this lens for its ability to capture incredibly sharp macro images.

Ultra fast focus
Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocus performance with seamless manual override. Internal Focusing technology enables the lens to focus from infinity to life size (1:1) without extending. And Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) system lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 3.0 stops slower than otherwise possible.¹ Expect sharper results if shooting handheld.

Superior optical performance
Extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass provides superior sharpness and colour reproduction. Nikon’s antireflective Nano Crystal Coat ensures clear images with minimal flare and ghosting, even in backlit conditions. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm renders a beautiful, natural background blur (bokeh) at wider aperture settings.
