- Key Specs
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Nikon DX, Nikon FX
- Lens Type: Macro
- Minimum Focal Length: 105 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 105 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)

Q: I don't see that this Lens will work with the D3400, can you please advise if it does?
A: Yes, the Nikon AF-S Micro Nikkor 105mm lens will most definitely work with the Nikon D3400. I own both the Nikon D3400 and the D7500 cameras and I use this lens with either camera body.
A: The AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens is an FX (full-frame) lens. This lens can be used on both FX and DX format cameras. When used on an FX format camera the AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens is 23°10′. When used on a DX format camera the angle of view is 15°. The maximum reproduction ratio of this close-up lens is 1.0x .
Q: Will this work well on a Nikon D750
A: The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Macro Lens is 100% compatible with the D750. It is one of Nikon's best Micro-NIKKOR lenses for close-up photography.
Q: Does this lens have 1:1 magnification?
A: Yes the lens is 1:1 and it is not a magnification, exactly. In simple terms it just means that the image you are shooting will be the same size on your sensor as it is in real life. Your sensor is about the size of a stamp in your camera so for most cases it is enough for what you are intending to do. Keep in mind you lose significant depth of field at high magnification. So much so that you can take a picture of an ant from the front where its head will be in focus and the other end will be completely out of focus. If you are looking for higher magnifications such as 2:1 or even 5:1 this will be even more pronounced. You would likely have to take multiple pictures of a subject and then stack them in post process with software. This will be extremely challenging with moving subjects, even slightly moving. That said you can also use additionally you can add some nice aftermarket magnification glass that is pretty affordable for those occasions you would need it or even use extension tubes. I have both and have not found a scenario yet where I felt I needed more than 1:1 yet and I am over the moon happy with my lens. I included a sample image.
Q: Can we use this lense with Nikon d3300?
A: Yes, because of the crop factor it will be an effective focal length of about 158mm though
Q: Is this lens compatible with the D7200 camera?
A: Yes it should work just fine on the D7200.
Q: How well does this lens work on a D500
A: This lens will work with amazing precision when attached to the Nikon D500 camera! The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens is designed to provide exceptional image quality and has a fast, 2.8 aperture and a 1:1 reproduction ratio. This allows it to capture minuscule details of subjects that might be a bit of distance away. When using it with a DX-format camera like the Nikon D500 you will have a maximum angle of view of 15° as opposed to 23°20' in an FX-format camera. This lens is an excellent addition to your growing camera bag.
Q: Will this macro lens work on a Nikon Z6 camera? If not, is there another that will?
A: You need the Nikon FTZ adapter to use F mount DSLR lenses on the Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.
