Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8G VR Lens

The Nikon AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED lens is the ultimate choice for Nikon users looking for a macro lens. It offers high-resolution, high-optical performance for both digital and 35mm film format SLR cameras.

This lens incorporates Nikon’s second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster when compared with a conventional lens (as determined by Nikon performance test). The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure quiet autofocusing with quick and convenient switching between autofocus and manual operation.

Optical performance is enhanced by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration, and Nano Crystal Coat which drastically reduces flare, enabling finely defined, clear images. We love this lens for its ability to capture incredibly sharp macro images.
