 Not worth the money!! July 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A good lens, but save your dollars and buy the older model, or the Tamron 90 macro. VR does not work up close, and that's the selling point of this lens. If you have to go manual for a macro shot, any of the other macros will suffice. I recently sold mine on ebay as I found that my Tamron 90 macro was just as sharp!! At half the price!!! Also, the 18-200 Nikon offers very good basic macro, and is much more of an all around lens!!
Superb Macro Lens June 16, 2008
This excellent MACRO or MICRO or Portrait lens, opens up a field of photo opps that is new to this photographer.
Flowers, insects and miniatures, to name a few. The depth of field is close to an inch when needed. The VR makes handheld shots in the field. The two range limiters are helpful.
The lens is larger and heavier than I expected, but so is versatility better than I expected.

It has become my favorite.
Nikon Macro Review May 19, 2008
Wow. What a great lens. I saw the results that this lens produces from photos from a friend in my local camera club. I had to have the lens. It is incredibly sharp. The perfect lens for small objects.
Outstanding Macro Lens May 14, 2008
The 105mm f 2.8 Nikkor lens is wonderful. It is great for doing wildlife macro pictures. VR is great.
Just like the equivalent Cannon lens this thing weighs as much as a brick. And it is well worth it!
