Great shots :) captures the feels of the lens beautifully, I've been in love with the 105mm every since I picked it up :) a must for any Macro work on Nikons, just smooth and amazing.

I had battled with the idea of Tokina, Sigma or Tamron but I preferred the 105, thankfully the photos on different sites really showed the dominance of this lens.

Nikon Micro 105mm Test Shots

Specifically some test photos using the NIKON Ai Micro-Nikkor 105mm F2.8 S. Test shot with the lens alone, with the lens plus the PN-11 auto extension ring, and finally some walking around images using the lens alone... all images using Fujifilm Neopan 10...

I have it and I absolutely love it!

I find it besides for taking photos of watches great as portrait lens...ok I know watch pictures are portraits as well Cheers D

I was impressed by the the 'resolution' in the walk around shots...

must be a great portrait lens and me with no Nikon dSLR ; ) Thanks for the comment... Casey

Great lens 👍🏻

Works perfectly on my Nikon D3 and tops the 60mm Macro Nikkor AF in every respect. By the way: The Neopan produces a really nice and very fine grain structure. Great for portraits.

Thanks JLCman... your comment sparked (rather long) a line of thinking...

I like Neopan 100 with certain of my lenses and definitely for night shoots... I often read comments such as Neopan is flat with lifeless midtones and a lack of micro contrast in the mid tones. It almost sounds like the commenter knows what they're talkin...

Fantastic lens

I use to own this when I still using D300

Quan... a hidden gem, just under the radar

Up to now I have been using the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro on the 5DII

and am very happy with that kit for digital macro... but one can't argue with a lens that has a run of over 35 years, Nikon did something correct. I am kind of surprised it's not on featured on "Thousand and One Nights"...
