Comments about Nikon Nikon 105mm f/2 AF-D DC Nikkor AutoFocus Telephoto Lens - USA with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty:

I couldn't be happier - I bought mine from Adorama as a Nikon refurb, and it was in excellent, brand new condition. Spotless. It's by far the sharpest lens in my kit, not my only prime but certainly my favorite. The defocus control (DC) produces stunning results. I had to re-learn, after many years, to zoom with my feet, but that wasn't hard (watch out for cliffs) - I would recommend this lens, new or refurbished, without hesitation. (Thanks, Adorama!)

Comments about Nikon Nikon 105mm f/2 AF-D DC Nikkor AutoFocus Telephoto Lens - USA with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty:

I personally use the lens for Portraits 95% of the time. Better, more pleasing skin tones than the 85mm 1.4. Focus speed is not as fast as the AF-S lens, but focus accuracy is more important for Portraits. The focus accuracy is spot on. One of Nikons best lenses.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 105mm f/2 AF-D DC Nikkor AutoFocus Telephoto Lens - USA with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty:

This lens is razor sharp! The Defocus Control works very well, providing the ability to render either foreground elements or backround elements softly out of focus, while maitaining the subject in sharp focus. This lens provides outstanding bokeh!
The lens is small and light compared to the fast Nikkor zooms. It is also built like a typical Pro Nikkor and will stand the test of time.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 105mm f/2 AF-D DC Nikkor AutoFocus Telephoto Lens - USA with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty:

This is one of the sharpest lenses I have ever owned. The contrast is amazing, and bokeh is to be looked up to by most other lenses. If you are looking for a tight portrait lens this is the one. Defocus control is revolutionary.
