[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 653993, member: 10447"] Theres certainly nothing wrong with the Nikon 105 VR, its a fantastic lens for macro as well as portraits. I dont use mine all that much, as I generally prefer to use my older Nikon AF55 D f2.8. Click on this old thread I did when I was experimenting with the 105 and a CPL filter [url]https://nikonites.com/macro/31779-macro-using-cpl-filter.html?highlight=ironwoods#axzz54E432UU5[/url] Here is a couple using the old $100 (off ebay) AF55, proves you dont need to spend big money to get a useable lens.
