The 105mm micro is the third prime I’ve used in this focal range, and in many ways it performs the best of the three. What can I say, I just love the 105mm focal length. Make sure to have one of these for the times you want to focus really, really close. There isn’t much bad or even mediocre to say about the 105mm micro. Generally favorable optical performance? Quite more than “generally”.As with most AI-s lenses, mounting is smooth and the aperture clicks into each stop with authority. This ensures the focus position doesn’t change when moving around the camera. The addition of a focus drag screw helps tremendously when on a tripod. Smooth Operation? Absolutely! Though the focus is super damped, it also is buttery smooth throughout the range.Again, all the extra glass and metal needed to extend the focus range adds to this lens. With the hood the 105mm micro is even heavier than the 105mm f/1.8 AI-s.

Don’t forget about the length added with the necessary hood. Of course, none of those lenses focus as close as this macro, which gets even bigger as you approach macro focusing ranges. Compared to the 100mm f/2.8 E, it’s pretty huge. Compared to other, faster 105mms, the 105mm micro is a bit longer, but less wide. In typical list form, let’s take a look at my four pillars of shootability: Working distance at 1:2 magnification The “Feel” Miscellaneous: 7 straight-bladed aperture stopping down to f/32, Nikon’s Close Range Correction (CRC, or, floating elements), focus drag screw, reproduction ratio markings for both the “normal” lens and the lens with the PN-11 extension tube, depth-of-field markings for f/16 and f/32, infrared focusing dot, standard 52mm metal filter thread, HS-14 metal hood, metal mount Interestingly, Nikon still sells this lens brand new in 2013 for $800(!). Use a tripod when shooting with the PN-11.Īverage Online Price: $350 for mint, $200 for beater. By using the dedicated PN-11 extension tube, “true” macro can be obtained through a maximum 1.88 magnification ratio (or, 1.14x life-size). This produces a 1:2 magnification ratio (or, half life-size). This is 6 ounces/170 grams heavier than the camera itself, but most of the lens is the focus ring so it balances nicely in the left hand.Ĭlose-Focus: marked at 1.34 feet/.41 meters.
