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!

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!

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!

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.

My change-over from DX to FX format was made simple with a new FX D610. Even the lens transition was painless. The AF-S Nikkor 24-120 f/4G ED VR lens as my main lens and 70-300 VR lens was seamless. But to switch from my old friend, the Micro-Nikkor 60mm, was a daunting task. So when I bought this 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED with vibration reduction, I knew my old friend matured and got smarter. The images at mid-range to higher f-stops, gave me superb depth of field and sharpness. From florals to small detailed shots, this lens is superior to anything I have used. And it (and they) will make a great transition to my D6!

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.

I?ve used this for macro photography and portraits. The resulting images are perfectly sharp with excellent color.

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

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.

I decided not to use the accompanying filters, as I have better ones. But the lens was TOPS!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Optically wonderful lens - hunts a little
By Larry
I have used this lens for the last couple of months on a D300 camera. It has become my favorite Macro and mid-distance lens. Particularly like contrast and color. 105mm on a DX camera provides a good distance for macro work and is not too long for general "walk around" photography. My only complaint is that it tends to hunt while focusing at times. The "limit" switch helps but it's still slow at times. Not a huge negative for me.
A must-have lens for your camera bag
By WinePro
In the short time I have had this lens, it's hardly ever detached from my D90 camera. I soon discovered that being mounted on a tripod is vital to avoid camera shake. With such a shallow depth of field at low apertures, it takes practise to get focusing right. I now use a remote and what a difference it has made. This is one of the best lenses I have ever used, and it's so well built, can't fault it at all, just wish the insects would remain still for longer and the wind wouldn't blow so much!
