Product details

The AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105 mm/2.8G IF-ED makes the benefits of image stabilization (VR) available for macro photography for the first time.
When used with 35mm or digital cameras, it offers high resolution
and best optical imaging performance.
The lens is equipped with the latest image stabilization technology (VR II), which allows for camera shake-free shooting from the hand with up to 4 light value levels longer exposure times (after Nikon tests).
The Silent-Wave Motor (SWM) in conjunction with the Internal Focusing (IF) ensures fast, precise autofocus and enables fast, convenient switching between automatic and manual focusing. The imaging performance is enhanced by an extra-low dispersion ED glass lens for particularly low chromatic aberration and a nanocrystalline coating for significantly reduced reflexes.
The result is absolutely brilliant, detailed images.

CHIP OnlineNikon Vollformat: Die besten Festbrennweite-Objektive im Test und VergleichReleaseJanuary 2015

Bei diesem Objektiv könnte man die etwas maue Auflösung kritisieren, insgesamt hinterlässt die Festbrennweite jedoch einen prima Eindruck im Test. Vor allem kann das Nikon AF-S Nikkor 2,8 / 105 mm G ED VR Micro mit seiner starken Ausstattung und dem tollen Autofokus punkten, aber auch die Objektivgüte ist sehr gut.

Das Gehäuse der Nikkor wurde sehr gut verarbeitet und abgedichtet. Die Bedienelemente sind zudem gut erreichbar. Bis auf wenige Schwächen liefert das Objektiv in puncto Aufnahmequalität einen recht guten Eindruck. Die Auflösung sowie die Verzeichnungen sind auf hohem Niveau
