nikon 105mm f/2.8 micro lens
Excellent lens, the macro effects are outstanding, this is what I was looking for in a micro lens. I prefer to use MF on macro photography as it gives me more control of the background.

Fast, precise and optically superb.
I got mine from WE. Pity Amazon does not stock these because they are the business. If you want a perfect image mount one of these on a sturdy tripod with a gimbal head (you'll need it because it's 2 kilos) put it on timer and use a remote.

Pros:
- Outstanding optical quality
- Super fast focusing
- Low Chromatic aberration
- Low distortion
- Excellent build quality
Cons:
- Heavy
- Expensive

Great telephoto that fits in my backpack
I bought this lens to shoot sports and events. I have found that there are situations where my 200 f2.8 just does not have the reach I need to get the shot.

Worth the weight, or the lack of weight...
Fast, responsive, VR and really not that heavy. I've used this hand held, with formal support (mono or tripod), or simply leaning on a tree, car door frame, or my knees sitting on the ground. Pairing it with a 1.4x tele still gives great results.

Fantastic Optic
I struggled with the decision to buy this lens given it's hefty price tag but I have to say it is worth every penny. The sharpness is quite frankly unbelievable and although I'd read about it's fast focus it has to be seen to be believed.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Truly Great Lens
This is a true high-class lens, and its versatility is amazing. It is so sharp, with such great bokeh, that you can crop butterfly images and they look better than if taken by a macro lens. You can also safely slap a 2x TC III on it, double your reach, and yet still get *outstanding*image quality.
