[QUOTE="DW_, post: 48126, member: 8667"] Yes, the 105mm is an excellent prime lens as well as a nice portrait lens, which was what attracted me to it in the first place. You do not get that distorted facial "look" (I think there's a name for that look, no?) when filling the frame with a face. It was only later that I started playing with the macro aspect of the lens. Mind you, this is the older 105mm w/o VR that's built like a tank and dates back to when they were still being made in Japan. I have a friend with the newer, more expensive and heavier modern 105mm macro lens who complains about the extra weight of the newer model. I assume the optics are the same or at the least very similar, but I don't know this for a fact. [/QUOTE]
