I am a Professional Wildlife Photographer of many years. I use this lens in conjunction with Nikon D3X and full frame camera bodies. It is important to me to consider the artistic limitations of my lenses; I work closely in tandem with Nikon's 200mm Macro lens which is excellent.

I had a very sharp canon 100mm macro with my last camera and it was a fantastic lens which produced excellent macro and portrait shots. This lens blows it away totally. Im using it on a D600 FX camera and the results are outstanding, exceptionally sharp and no visible CA or distortion.

I bought this lens a while back to use on my . The lens is overkill for my specific camera, but I have so much fun using it. The lens is incredibly sharp (in my case, the camera I am using holds back the lens' potential in that regard), and offers a very large aperture.

Very sharp; 1:1 macro magnification; No distortion; Optically stabilized; Compact

Pricey; Short working distance for 1:1 photography

Fast; sharp; and solidly built

Heavy

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

Slow Focus

Superb piece of kit.... up to Nikon's high standard as I would have expected. Online service and local collection made so simple - cant fault product or service

I would like to say this Lens is Worth a buy for Macro and Portrait enthusiast. Although price seems a big leap compared to its Tamron and Sigma counterparts, none of them can match its performance in image quality and Bokeh.

Great lens. Enjoying clicking closeups with it.
