The Z series of lenses continues to offer extraordinary optics and in this case at least, with a reasonable price tag to go with it. The 105mm focal length is versatile and covers a multitude of subjects and is well established as a firm favourite in macro lenses.

Outstanding sharpness, Very low CA, Low distortion, No flare, Beautiful bokeh, Weather resistance, High construction standards, OLED display, Customisable control functions, Excellent ergonomics, Virtually silent, fast AF

Nikon's Z MC 105mm f2.8 VR S is a very good macro lens which also doubles up as a light telephoto. It produces very sharp images with almost no field-curvature or colour aberrations and can confidently be used wide open and in challenging contra-light situations.

The Nikon Z-series lens line-up now has two macro lenses and they’re both very good, but the Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S has a few refinements that make it worth the extra money over the Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8.

Aperture range varies with focus distance, About 1.5x the price of the Nikon Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8

We had to wait quite a while for a native Z mount Nikon macro lens, and then two came along at once. The 105mm f/2.8 VR is the more advanced (and more expensive) of the two, but it provides stunning results for lovers of close-up photography.

It's an optical stunner, capable of producing images with exquisite detail and focusing close to capture objects at life-size magnification. Z system owners shopping for a new macro need not look further. It's an easy upgrade choice for photographers moving from Nikon SLRs and the venerable AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm F2.8G IF-ED, as well as the best macro lens for those starting off the Z system, making it a clear Editors' Choice award winner.S Line Macro The Z MC 105mm is large for a prime lens, but its size is not out of line for a stabilized macro. It measures 5.5 by 3.3 inches (HD), weighs 1.4 pounds, and supports 62mm front filters. The included lens hood adds a couple of inches in height; it locks in place, with a push-button for release. The lens is part of Nikon's premium S line and incorporates dust, splash, and anti-smudge fluorine ...
