Digital camera reviews of Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens

Summary of Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens

The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF Lens is the world's first macro lens equipped with SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and VR (Vibration Reduction) systems. The VRII function minimizes camera shake by offering the equivalent of a shutter speed 4 stops faster. The SWM enables fast and quiet autofocusing, and quick switching between autofocus and manual operation. The IF design provides a constant lens length and eliminates rotation of the front lens element, facilitating the use of circular polarizing filters and the Nikon Close-up. The Nano Crystal Coat ensures superior optical performance by virtually eliminating internal lens element reflections. Closest focusing distance - 0.314m (1 ft.)
