Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I pre-ordered this lens as a present, but examined it before I gave it away.
I didn't think I was going to want to keep it, but I'll have to admit, the lens is VERY sharp.The MTF charts hold true.
PRO's:
It's a smidge sharper than my Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon DSLR Cameras.
What I really like the is the working distance on a DX body; it's nothing you could get on an FX body as a macro lens (FX equivalent of 127.5mm; only macro's for FX are 60 and 105 2.8). . .
The VR does work very well, but does not completely make up for fast aperture.Back to back testing in low light portrait shots, the VR gave me a about a 1-2 stop advantage (my 60mm 2.8 micro, thus, still better in that regard).
What this does offer to the DX community is one of the SHARPEST nikkor's produced in a very unique working distance.
Confirms Nikon's commitment to the DX line at affordable pricing with amazing optics.
CON's:
Only micro/macro lens in the nikon line up that ISN't compatible with FX lenses. . .would've increased the cost for sure, and weight, but would've have been nice.
