Great lens to connect with the tiny world. Loved it on my first attempt to see the power of the lens. When I captured this image, the characters in the image were so dear to me, inviting me to show them to the world. I eventually had to catch them with my hand to try few different compositions, yet even after I touched them, they were keep coming back to me for more and more action. It seems like they really loved the lens I was using :).

This lens enabled me to get some incredible photos of honey bees on St. John's Wart summer flowers. I used this lens with my Nikon Z9 and was please with the fast focusing and details for each photo. This lens really ups the game from my Nikon F mount 105mm f/2.8 lens. The bee photo below was captured at: Camera: Nikon Z9, ISO5000, f/7.1, 1/10000sec.

No complaints about the optics and image quality - Nikon lenses are great. It's amazingly lightweight for a lens of its dimensions. I really appreciate not needing to get as close to flowers as was necessary with my previous 40mm macro. What puzzles is me is why I have so much trouble autofocusing. I almost always have to manual focus and even when getting close manually and using the back-button focus, the focus is usually lost. Maybe user error that I need to adjust for.but this is not an issue with the other three lenses I use on my Z7II.

This is a great lens for Macro, Portraits, and Landscapes. The VR on this lens works very well and you can hand hold for macros. This Lens will produce very sharp images. I love It.

When I bought my AF-S VR Micro 105mm f/2.8 years ago for my D200, I told my photographer friends that this lens was the reason to shoot Nikon. My AF-S Micro 105mm was the last one to sell in converting entirely to the Z system, but once again, this looks like it will be a gem. The image quality and quiet focusing are top-notch, and now that I've changed over, the weight and size factors (considering the AF-S needed the converter on my Z8) are additional reasons to make this lens a must-have.

Crisp, smooth and fast! Love the lens for portraits and macro!

I owned the 105 D and always thought it was a special lens. However, the Z version is even better. Light weight, fast focus and super sharp.

There are so many tiny details, and tiny critters, around us and the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S is an excellent choice for photographing them. The longer working distance helps to avoid spooking insects and is a definite advantage over shorter focal-length macro lenses. Autofocus works very well and manual focus is very precise. Very pleased with this lens.
