The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens is a cutting-edge macro lens designed for exceptional close-up photography. Featuring a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification and a minimum focusing distance of 1 foot, this lens excels at capturing intricate details with remarkable clarity and color accuracy. The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture allows for creative control over depth of field and versatility in various lighting conditions.
The lens benefits from an advanced optical design that includes one extra-low dispersion element to reduce chromatic aberrations, ensuring high clarity and color fidelity. Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings further enhance image quality by minimizing flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and color accuracy, especially in bright or backlit situations. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) provides fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, while the VR (Vibration Reduction) system compensates for camera shake by up to three stops, aiding in handheld shooting.
Designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, the lens is also compatible with DX models, where it provides a 157.5mm equivalent focal length. The lens supports the optional AF-S Teleconverter TC-14, TC-17, and TC-20 for extended reach.
