[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 181162, member: 15426"] • All references are made to FX sensor format! Hi everyone, I said somewhere that I bought the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED earlier this spring, and posted some photos done with it. Even my son Olivier (14yo) could not resist… he gave it a try and posted some photos! Here is something I explained him, as any normal thing he should know, and since I got 4 P@ asking about it, I will post here the answers. [COLOR="#B22222"][I]I cannot afford 2 lenses: the 105 and the 85 that I wanted. Why should I buy the 2 lenses?[/I][/COLOR] You don't have to! the 85mm ƒ1.8 can do fine portraits, very cool for reportage and street photos, etc. The 105mm ƒ/2.8 can do the same plus, because of its construction, it will add the macro range to all of the previously stated features. In short, the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED (in any macro versions) is to be seen as a normal short tele with extended capacities. And at ƒ2.8, luminous enough to be very flexible, even in low light photography! The slight difference in bokeh will be attenuated by the longer focal length. Have a good time! [/QUOTE]
