Top Rated Gear: Used Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro Autofocus Macro Lens undefined

105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor. Engineered for use with either Nikon DX format digital or 35mm SLR cameras, this superbly crafted lens is ideal for outstanding close-up and general photography.   Vibration Reduction   Nikon's enhanced VR (VRII) technology is built into the 105mm VR Micro-Nikkor, which enables photographers to capture sharp images at shutter speeds approximately four stops slower than would otherwise be possible (at near infinity to 1/3x shooting). This is especially powerful for handheld close-up photography, where even the smallest camera movement can result in blur. In addition, VRII technology provides a stable viewfinder image, making it easier for your customers to frame their compositions, even at high magnification shooting.   Silent Wave Motor and Internal Focusing   Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures fast and quiet autofocusing. This is a must for close-up nature photographers, as extraneous noise could disturb the subject. SWM technology also enables quick switching between auto and manual focus operation. The Internal Focusing system offers a non-rotating front lens element, making it an excellent match with circular polarizing filters and Nikon's R1 and R1C1 Wireless Speedlight Systems   Nano Crystal Coat and ED Glass   The new 105mm VR Micro-Nikkor lens features proven Nikon technologies such as Nano Crystal Coat and ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass. Nano Crystal Coat further reduces flare and ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration. These work together to provide stunning image quality.

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!

Awesome customer service and awesome product!

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

So far great lens and still learning how to use it.  Buying it at this store was great?had no issues getting the lens fast.

Great macro

Great lens

Love it! great built quality. Almost too heavy.

Excellent built. but heavy.

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

Fantastic macro lens

This lens is tack sharp and produces the creamiest bokeh! I?ve wanted this lens for a long time. It was worth the wait!

Fantastic lens!

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!

Adorama is always my first choice for camera equipment!

Love this 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.

Good crisp lens.

one of the best nikon made,excellent glasses ..built like a tank ,gives good and sharp images everytime

Happy buyer,nice price,and good custom services

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.

Super Sharp and Fast

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

One more for life

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

Perfect portrait lens

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 must have lens for the collection!

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

Getting close with the 105mm Micro NIKKOR lens

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

Would recommend!

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

105 MICRO lens

Great Lens

I love this lens! It is the best Nikon lens I own!

Best lens ever!

Lense and accessories look great. Now that my wife has recovered from Corona, she plans to start using it.

Post Corona Fun

This lens is as advertised - sharp, fast, and quiet!

This lens is sharp, fast, and quiet!

This lens is as advertised - sharp, fast, and quiet!  And the extra items in the kit seem to be fine also.

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.

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.

Exceptional lens

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.

Great lens, so-so accessory package.

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.

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

A good lens. I use it for macro it provides excellent detailed images.

Sturdy it will last a lifetime if cared for.

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!
