Nikon 105mm VR January 6, 2009
Matthew D. Sitton (Birmingham, AL USA)
The lense is everything my wife wanted it to be for close up pictures. Great Macro lense.
Awesome Lens! December 13, 2008
Kaffinito (Michigan)
This lens is really sweet! I wasn't sure about buying it because of the price, but research on the lens convinced me. I am not disappointed. The auto focus works like a charm, and for tripod shots, like moon shots, I can turn the AF off on the camera body (Nikon D60) and on the lens to take really great shots. One word of caution though, make sure to turn the VR off for tripod work! I also took some really nice shots of my oldest son and some landscape photos with it so far. The lens is sharp, and it makes a great addition to any kit.
A great Macro lenses December 8, 2008
Alessandro Geminiani (New York, USA)
I bought this lenses 2 months ago.
I use it mainly for medical photography. The images are very sharp. I really like the VR (vibration Reduction) function and I find it very helpful for my purposes.
The AF with the manual over-ride is efficient and easy to use.
I used it in combination with a R1-C1 flash unit and a D80 body.
Professional Glass! November 25, 2008
R. Morton (Illinois, USA)
This is a pro piece of glass and takes phenomenal pictures. I recommend this to anyone interested in getting into macro photography as I have been for some time. Focusing can be a little tricky, but the photographs can be breathtaking with a little work.

Steven L. Mays (Portland, OR)
I have a Nikon D80. I like to take close-ups of flowers and textured objects of interest. This new lens gives me full scale of the object and outstanding clarity. The anti-shake feature is great for hand-held. Being able to switch from auto-focus to manual quickly and easily is a big plus.
Love it.
