Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the image quality, macro capabilities, and ease of use of the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Macro Lens, frequently praising its performance in close-up shots and portrait photography. However, some customers noted that the autofocus can be inconsistent, particularly at close range, and that the lens is relatively large and heavy. The price point was also mentioned as a potential drawback for some. Despite these minor drawbacks, many users consider it a high-quality lens.

    This Nikon lens performs great. I consistently get clear sharp photos specially for portraits. Read online reviews and you too will agree that this Nikon lens is a favorite among many pro and amateur photographers.

    Very well made and balanced lens(on my Nikon D750). 105mm 2.8-32f. VR for added stabilization. Great for macro and portraits. Dual purpose lens. Solid metal construction. Nano Crystal coating an added plus. Can't wait to get more time on it.

    Great lens! Does what it is advertised to do. Good for bugs/flowers/closeup portraits. Long focal length suitable for outdoors use, problematic indoors.

    This lens has good macro quality. The Nikon 105mm provide a good working distance from the object being photographed. This lens also provide a comfortable working district for head shot.

    Bought this for my wife from her wish list. She is extremely pleased with it and has given it a good workout. She had been trying a friends Sigma equivalent and says this one is much better.

    If you have the cash and want crisp 1:1 this is it. If you're a macro only photographer I highly recommend canon

    This lens is a no-brainer if you can swing it! Great as a prime telephoto when not using the incredible macro ability.

    This is an absolute fantastic lens. My only complaint, and it's just entirely based on my personal preferences and shouldn't really matter what you think, was the weight. Which in retrospect, wasn't super heavy but if I'm carrying this thing around all day I'm going to get tired. Vr is great on this lens, I never had it before on prior lens so that was a great feature. Image quality is outstanding. Great for macro or portrait.
