Lightweight lens, sharp, low/no distortion, at a bargain price. This is my walk around lens, sharp as a 50mm normal lens without distortion - another advantage is the 10mm of extra reach and its close focus capability is useful for copy work or an occasional close-up.

Enjoying every minute using this lens. I didn't think it would be a heavy lens considering its dimensions so I'd suggest using a tripod. Watch out bugs...here I come!!!!

I'm just getting into Macro photography. It's really fun to catch a Butterfly on a flower. This lens is great as far as bokeh is concerned. Everything is blurred but the subject. I'm thrilled that i made this purchase.

I bought this lens last year as an introduction lens for macro photography and to give me something to play with around the lawn and garden. It has crisp pictures but I find focusing to be a little touchy. I'm having to learn to be a little more patient with Macro photography as getting depth of field seems to tougher than with landscape photography. Overall a great lens but wish I'd have purchased one with a little longer reach. This lens requires you to get VERY close to your subject.

I purchased this lens primarily for its macro ability in addition to its low f stop value. The pictures come sharp with an easy focus -typical of high quality Nikkor lenses. I found this to be a better value and with a quicker response than the older Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 lens.

I needed a good lens for close ups and this lens is it. I have never had a lens that was this sharp. If you like to take very close photos this is the lens for you.

I love this lens-it is my favorite, thus far!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful macro or micro lens, and it is also wonderful for portraits. However, do not be fooled by the "VR" that Best Buy has added to the description...it's not there. Not that it is needed, but buyer beware.

I couldn't wait to try this lens,so i attached a few examples, it takes some getting use to, but well woth the money, you have to start off farther away and slowly move in until the desired picture is in focus. But over all it is a great lens and will help you accomplish what you are looking for in the macro field. This is only the beginning and i have a whole world to explore with it.

This lens is very suited for portrait photos too! Very sharp and photos have great depth. Love the richness of the colors too. Macro shots are just as fantastic.

Nikon doesn't make junk. I have been using lens primarily for close-up wildflower photography and have not been disappointed. See Nikon for specific lens info. Packaging from Best Buy, however, was ridiculous! Box was way too big for lens and a short (less than a foot) piece of bubble wrap was tossed in there for good measure. Lens box from Nikon wasn't wrapped or cushioned what-so-ever. Thank goodness that Nikon is not clueless and packed lens exceptionally well in their own box.

Haven’t spent a ton of time with it yet but so far I can tell I like it. Popular lens, was hard to find in stock, glad Best Buy had it. Even used ones were scarce and not significantly cheaper. Use it mostly to photograph oil paintings.
