From classic portraits to 1:1 close up shots, the 105/2.8 Macro can handle a myraid of assignments. This lens adds extra working distance from the 60mm Macro, enabling different lighting techniques. The true focal length stays at 105mm all the way down to 1:1. The front does not rotate during focusing, and the A/M autofocus switch makes for quick and easy changes between manual and autofocus.

Compatible with Nikon autofocus Cameras, including D-TypeCompact and lightweight medium telephoto macro lens. Optimized image quality for Digital SLR cameras. Super Multi Layer (SML) coating reduces the ghost caused by reflections from the surface of digital image sensors. Features a compact lens design with an overall length of just 95mm. Minimum aperture of F45 provides greater depth of field (F45 for Sigma, Canon and Konica Minolta mounts and F32 for Nikon and Pentax mounts). A screw-in lens hood for convenient use of circular polarizing filters. Less

Get Close With Nikon's Most Popular Macro Lens-105/2.8D AF

by Howard_Creech , Jun 4, 2000
Pros: Sharp as a tack , flat field, great color transmission
Cons: a bit heavy
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: The 105 f2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor is sharp as a tack throughout its focusing range (from infinity to 12 inches) but the strength of this lens is up close and personal. For macro work, the 105 is an almost perfect focal length, especially for insects...

Very good...but there's one better!

by sailingshot , May 12, 2006
Pros: Very good optics, superior handling and build
Cons: Bad bokeh, not quite as sharp as a Tamron 90mm Macro
The Bottom Line: The Tamron is a better lens and should be considered as well, but the Nikon is certainly professional quality as well.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: You will not be unhappy with this very fine Nikon lens. It's a great macro lens that is very sharp. Handling is excellent, perhaps the very BEST of all the 90 to 105 macro range lenses. It does 1:1 no problem, though your distance to the subject is...

Great lens, fantastic pictures!

by occnaturegirl , Jun 19, 2006
Pros: This is a pretty lens with amazing results.
Cons: The hood is not a style I'm used to, but I can deal with this.
The Bottom Line: Buy this lens. I am a fan of Sigma and this 105mm F2.8 lens reinforces my loyalty.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I just bought this lens and WOW! The lens itself has a nice black matte finish and a durable, heavy-enough feel to it. The pictures (subject: flowers) it takes mounted to my Nikon D70 are fantastic so far. The colors are brilliant, the details are...
