[QUOTE="nickt, post: 468335, member: 4923"] I've been looking at a 105 also. Mostly just to have a prime in the 100mm neighborhood and double as a macro. Not craving it for macro because I am happy with my Tamron 60mm. The Nikon 105 would only give me about 1" more working distance. I stumbled on this the other day. [url=http://www.bythom.com/105AFSlens.htm]Nikon 105mm f/2.8G AF-S VR Review by Thom Hogan[/url] Thom says the VR is not much good at 1:1. He says Nikon hints at that also. I have never shot a macro with VR, but I'm tending to agree. VR would need to be magical to help me on a very close handheld shot. [/QUOTE]
