Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens

The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED is a contemporary short telephoto macro lens that excels at close-up photography with its life-size 1:1 maximum magnification and minimum focusing distance of 1 foot. Its advanced optical design includes one extra-low dispersion element, which effectively reduces chromatic aberrations for enhanced clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings suppress flare and ghosting, resulting in greater contrast, even in bright and backlit conditions.

The lens features a Silent Wave Motor AF system, delivering fast and nearly silent autofocus performance suitable for both stills and video shooting. Manual focus override is available by simply turning the focus ring. With a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens performs well in various lighting conditions and provides control over depth of field for subject isolation and selective focus techniques.

Designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, it can also be used with DX models, offering an equivalent focal length of 157.5mm. The lens is ideal for macro photography, offering a 1:1 maximum magnification for detailed close-up shots. It incorporates an internal focusing design, maintaining the lens length and enabling faster focusing speeds.

Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization compensates for camera shake, allowing handheld shooting with up to three stops slower shutter speed. The nine-blade rounded diaphragm produces pleasing out-of-focus areas, enhancing shallow depth of field effects. The lens is also compatible with optional AF-S Teleconverter TC-14, TC-17, and TC-20 teleconverters, expanding its reach.
