REVIEW: Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8G ED IF VR Micro Lens
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...

Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro Nikkor review by whmitty
I was using a Nikon D7000 when I first got the lens and could not have been more satisfied with the images it produced. I now own a Nikon D600 and the lens continues to produce simply indescribably beautiful images.
Pros:
- Stunningly sharp
- AF and VRII actually works well doing 1:1 macro imaging
Cons:
- A tad heavy

Very nice
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.
Pros:
- Easy To Use
Cons:
- Fixed Focal Length

Liked the non VR better
This is a great lens, but I'm not sure why I own it. I loved the non VR version of this and a voice in my head told me that this would be better. Perhaps it will if I ever shoot this focal length without a tripod, but I don't.

Not the lens pictured
I ordered this expecting the auto VR lens, however after it arrived, it was a MANUAL FOCUS lens. Very disappointed. It is a quality lens, but with modern DSLR's, it doesn't register for any of the information that comes with normal AF lenses.

Nikon AF-S 105mm f/2.8G Macro VR F2.8 G - BRAND NEW review
Nikon packed many new features into the Micro-Nikkor AF-S 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR. The most obvious one is probably the new IF design so the physical length of the lens remains constant regardless of the focus setting.
