NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S

Lens is very nice. Solid effort by Nikon. Works well with m z9 and I have also used it with extension tubes and the focus is great.

I had the F mount version of this lens, purchased a couple years ago. Nikon took the time to include all the best of that lens and improve it even more for the Z mount version. I bought this at the same time I switched to mirrorless by also purchasing a Z8. WOW!! So far, I have taken so many macro images and I am incredibly impressed with my decision to go this direction. I am regaining the inspiration to pursue photography and to stretch my imagination to creative expressions that are unique to me.

This is a very good lens, it is sharp at 105 and works well at the macro level. It has VR which helps with handheld shots. The auto focus at the macro level takes a little patience, just move forward or backwards to get in focus( in autofocus mode) and it will with it do just fine. I am told most macro lens take a bit to focus. It does have some nice bokeh too! Just focus on your subject with dappled light in the trees behind it. You can create a lovely dreamy look with nice circular bokeh. You can stop down if you want more depth of field as well. It also has manuel focusing if you prefer that method.

Amazing tool to have for macro imagery and also portraits. Love the BOKEH it gives as a lens in general!! I’d recommend this to anyone looking for two lenses in one. Sharp as a knife too!

Sharp, good color, great lens.

I own a Z8 and purchased the Nikon Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S lens about a month ago. I am very happy and impressed with this lens. The performance as a macro lens is amazing. I have really enjoyed getting so very up close to my subject and capturing the hidden details with such sharp clarity. What makes this lens so special is that I can go from macro to portrait in an instant. The bokeh in my portrait photos contrast beautifully with the sharp focus of the subjects. All this functionality and performance at an unbelievable price point. This lens is a perfect addition to your Z lens collection.
