So much awesome.
Extremely happy with this lens, using with a Nikon D7100 and the clarity and sharpness is almost beyond belief. I never would have imagined how much difference this lens makes to the kit lens. It’s quite astounding!Read full review

Excellent lens built in Japan.
This an excellent macro lens. This lens is not made by Nikon anymore and it has been replaced with the new AF-S VR version.
I had both version; I have the 105 F2.8D left now. I found the lens nicer to hold and lighter. Yes it is a little bit more noisy compared to the AF-S version because it does not have an inbuilt motor but you gain weight and what I think is an overall better handling.
Switching in manual mode is a breeze, pictures are sharp and the lens produces nice colors.
I prefer the aperture ring for Macro.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it is a tidy bit noisy and hunts a little bit more than the AF-S version otherwise the handling is in my book superior. Note that you can easily overcome this issue with the focus limiter which works quite well.
Overall a very nice lens, well built in Japan, especially if you're lucky enough to get one copy in mint condition like I did.Read full review
