Review Summary

I have owned many Nikon lenses and this one is right up there with the much more expensive 70-200 VRII, the 14-24, and the Micro Nikkor 105 VR and yet it is a fraction of the cost of those lenses and it even has the Nano coat. The AF is super fast and virtually silent and it is light and compact but has a very solid feel to it. It also doubles as a "normal lens" on my D600 and is just as good at infinity as it is inches away from the subject.

The Compact, versatile Micro-NIKKOR lens for close-up, copy work and general photography. It provides continuous autofocus from infinity to life-size (1:1 reproduction ratio). Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and quiet autofocus operation. Two aspherical elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even at the widest aperture.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration. The Internal Focusing (IF) design allows faster, smoother autofocusing and eliminates barrel length changes for consistent handling-design also eliminates front element rotation, enabling easier use of polarizers and Nikon's Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System.
