Reach. Precision. Versatility.
When you need a greater working distance for macro photography, the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED delivers. This lens is optimised for macro and close-up work, yet versatile enough for portraits too.
Macro, close-up, or portraits. Capture sharp detail at any focus distance from infinity to life-size (1:1 reproduction ratio).
Take advantage of 105 mm of reach. The longer focal length offers ample working distance when shooting insects and small wildlife, or for product photography. The medium-telephoto angle of view is well-suited to portraiture, and the bright f/2.8 maximum aperture enables beautiful bokeh. The closest focusing distance is 0.314 m.
Benefit from fast autofocus, smooth switching to manual focus, and sharper results if shooting handheld.
Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocus performance with seamless manual override. Internal Focusing technology enables the lens to focus from infinity to life size (1:1) without extending. And Nikon’s Vibration Reduction (VR) system lets you shoot at shutter speeds up to 3.0 stops slower than otherwise possible.¹ Expect sharper results if shooting handheld.
Whether you’re shooting pattern details or portraits, expect images with rich, vibrant colours, deep contrast, and incredible clarity.
Extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass provides superior sharpness and colour reproduction. Nikon’s antireflective Nano Crystal Coat ensures clear images with minimal flare and ghosting, even in backlit conditions. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm renders a beautiful, natural background blur (bokeh) at wider aperture settings.
