Awesome customer service and awesome product!

I ordered this lens on a Sunday night before Christmas. I called the next day after ordering to see if it would Arrive before Christmas Eve. Customer service expedited shipping free of charge and I received from Lenz the next day. Very very happy. If the lines is absolutely fantastic everything I expected it to be. Thank you Adorama!

I am impressed with the clarity and magnification practicing with the lens handheld. I'm excited to get outdoors in real life situations.

This lens performs better than expected. I have used macro filters before but this is the first time I've purchased an actual prime macro lens. The difference is stunning!

Fantastic macro lens

This lens is tack sharp and produces the creamiest bokeh! It?s been in my wishlist for a while now.

Adorama is always my first choice for camera equipment!

I always like purchasing my photography equipment from Adorama. They always have the best price and they always throw in some free accessories with every order! Their customer service has always been prompt and helpful. Shipping is always easy and they provide the tracking information so I can personally keep track of the shipment. I know it can be hard when taking a chance on a new supplier for the first time, but I can assure you that Adorama has always come through for me!

Good crisp lens.

I immediately took some candid photos of my dog and cat (and then on to the anole on the porch) to check it out upon arrival. This lens is crisp. The VR is a little noisy but after reading many reviews and articles online I came to the conclusion that it is a good copy and just something to get used to. In a quiet situation when I would normally be using a tripod anyway I will probably turn off the VR to reduce my presence.

Super Sharp and Fast

This lens has been on my wish-list of lenses since it first came out, because I like macro photography and the ?2.8 provides for nice creamy backgrounds, as well as being faster than kit lenses for variable focal-length lenses. Autofocus sometimes has to ?hunt? for the correct focal point, typically when the primary point of interest doesn?t contrast with its surroundings. However, manual focus is super easy and I generally use it, along with autofocus to verify the focus. It is a hefty lens, but appears to be sturdy. The few images I?ve made since buying it a few weeks ago have been sharp from edge to edge. I?ve mostly played around with the macro focusing and have found it to be sharp, albeit with the extremely limited depth of field, which is expected with macro photography. I like that the filter size of 62mm is the same as a couple of other lenses I have, which makes it convenient.

Tack sharp with the m/a setting we are used to. Thanks Nikon, exactly what I?ve been hoping for.

A must have lens for the collection!

A lens to have in your collection. You may not use as much but when you do you will know why. A must have! Great bokeh on close ups. Crisp pictures. I have rented this lens and wish I would have bought it a lot sooner

Getting close with the 105mm Micro NIKKOR lens

A lot of fun to use and have taken some nice close up of flowers. This micro 105mm did a wonderful job

It's a perfect mid-range macro lens and best of all, vibration reduction.

Best purchase in 2020

This lens has been on the want list for years. Primary use for micro shot of newborn details. Still refining manuel shooting to get those details. But, I was surprised how versatile it was and used it for portrait as well. Wishing I hadn't waited so long, by far the best purchase in 2020.

Exceptional lens

I love this lens. It’s very quick to focus n my D500 and the images are wicked sharp. Love it for macro work and it’s just top shelf as a portrait lens. Highest recommendation. When I bought this item it was back ordered everywhere, Adorama got it for me quickly and didn’t charge my cad until they shipped it. This is the kind of service I’ve grown to expect from this vendor.

Great lens, so-so accessory package.

All items arrived. This was a large amount of accessories at the same price as lens itself, so I wasn’t expecting much. The UV filter is quite tinted and affects the color of the photos. The downloads for photo processing don’t work. There are some nice lens cleaning supplies. The lens itself is fantastic. I should have gotten this lens years ago.

Worth the money if you're willing to crawl up you're subjects wazoo for close up

As advertised. It can be a little hard for my D5500 to auto-focus close-up, but manual override usually solves the problem. Super clear images.

Incredible sharpness... I’m loving this lens!

This guy really upped my macro game. Got into macro using reversing rings and expansion tubes but this new lens has got it all over that setup! I’ve yet to use it for portraits but I hear it is also great for that... Looking forward to trying it out on those too!
