It was as per my expectations

It appears previously opened

The last macro lens I owned fit my Pentax K1000 manual (film) work horse body and it was not fixed length and had almost no image distortion at edges. It was a great all purpose lens that also happened to be a macro. Compared to today's prices it also cost almost nothing.

Easy To Use

Fixed Focal Length

I love it.

It is a good lens to have if your a macro lover. It produces beautiful bokeh and can be use instead of an 85 prime but with an apreture of F/2.8-3.2. They are plenty of Macro lens on the market and I would recommend them over this high price Nikon lens.

Heavy Autofocus is slow but shouldn't be a problem for Macro work; Price is on the high side while they are plenty of better an other options for better value VR isn't usful for most Macro work unless you are shooting close up of flowers and objects of that size where you don't need to be super...

This Micro lens from Nikon, was the first of it's kind to include vibration reduction when it was introduced. It sports a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture, a silent wave focusing motor, which allows full time manual focus override and Nikon's Nano Crystal anti-reflective lens coatings.

Nikon caters particularly well for macro photographers, with 40mm, 60mm, 85mm and 200mm options in addition to this 105mm lens. An update to the popular Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro optic, the Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED adds a host of improvements, chief of which being Nikon's...

With a decent range of features on top of good optics and VR, the Nikkor is worth every penny
