About the Nikon AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED VR
Nikon macro lens for detailed closeups
Nikon macro lens for detailed closeups
Shoot incredibly detailed photos with this macro lens from Nikon. Its close focusing capability lets you turn small, everyday objects into dramatic, frame-filling images. Record dew drops on flower petals at dawn or the tiny creatures in a tidal pool at the beach. A large maximum aperture lets you create stunning pictures with crisply focused subjects and artistically blurred backgrounds.
World-class optical performance
Nikon's world-renowned optics help this lens deliver razor-sharp images. A multi-coating on the lens minimizes flare and ghosting. And Nikon's built-in Silent Wave Motor makes autofocus very fast and nearly silent. The lens has built-in vibration reduction, too. Built-in motion sensors steer a special set of optical elements inside the lens, neatly compensating for camera movement and stabilizing the image. You get much sharper pictures — even in low-light conditions where slower shutter speeds and hand motion can easily cause blurred images with a regular lens.

Features
Product Overview: The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED is compatible with Nikon film and digital SLR cameras. The focal length is fixed at 105mm, but can be used for macro shots as close as 12 inches, resulting in a 1:1 magnification ratio.
ED Glass: The Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element minimizes chromatic aberration.
Nano Crystal Coat: The exclusive Nano Crystal Coating further reduces ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.
Built-in CPU: The lens has a built-in CPU which allows it to communicate with the camera body for focus and exposure functions. A set of CPU contacts is located on the lens mount for interfacing with the camera body.
Auto Focus: Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet autofocusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus range. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and super-quiet operation. The manual/auto focus mode switch allows quick response to situations requiring manual focus operation.
Focus Range Limit: If your subject is always more than 20 inches away, a switch allows you to fix the focus range at 0.5m-infinity to reduce focusing time (for AF cameras compatible with AF-S Nikkor lenses only).
Vibration Reduction (VR II): Vibration reduction minimizes the effects of camera shake allowing you to shoot handheld at as many as 4 shutter speed stops slower than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images. You can turn vibration reduction on or off with the switch on the side of the lens.
Aperture: Because there is no aperture ring on this lens, the aperture must be set on the camera.
Diaphragm: The lens is equipped with a fully-automatic, 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture. Out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
Optional Accessories: Compatible optional accessories include 62mm screw-on filters and AF-S Teleconverters.
