NIKON - AF-S 105/2.8G ED IF VR Vibration Reduction Micro Lens (62mm) *FREE SHIPPING*

The world's first macro lens equipped with SWM and VR systems.

Nikon has today announced the Nikon AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF, the world's first macro lens equipped with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and Vibration Reduction (VR) systems. The Nikon VR 105mm f/2.8G ED offers a host of Nikon's other advanced optical features such as Nano Crystal Coating, Extra Low Dispersion (ED) glass and Internal Focusing (IF).

The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED is engineered for use with both Nikon 35mm film SLR cameras and Nikon DX format digital SLR's like the Nikon D2X, D200, and the Nikon D70s.

The effects of camera shake are usually amplified in close-up photography and can greatly affect image quality and sharpness. The incorporation of Nikon VR technology in a Micro-Nikkor lens expands versatility by, for the first time, providing the sharpness benefits of VR and improving hand-held close-up photography.

With the VR II function incorporated in the Nikon AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF lens, photographers can capture sharp images at shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower at near infinity to 3m (at approximately 1/30x reproduction ratio) than would otherwise be possible. As the reproduction ratio increases from 1/30x, the effects of vibration reduction gradually decrease. (Approximately 1 stop compensation at 1:1 magnification ratio)

 

• The world's first macro lens offering reproduction ratios of up to 1:1
  featuring the Nikon Vibration Reduction System (VRII) allows high-quality
  hand-held macro shooting.
• The VRII function minimizes camera shake by offering the equivalent of a
  shutter speed 4 stops faster at near infinity to 3m (1/30x reproduction ratio) shooting.
• The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast and quiet autofocusing, and quick s
  witching between autofocus and manual operation.
• Nikon ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration. Outstanding Nikkor
  optical performance makes it suitable for photography with both Nikon digital and
  35mm film SLR cameras.
• Nikon Nano Crystal Coat further ensures superior optical performance by virtually
  eliminating internal lens element reflections.
• The Internal Focus (IF) design provides a constant lens length and eliminates rotation
  of the front lens element, facilitating the use of circular polarizing filters and the
  Nikon R1/R1C1 Close-up Speedlight
• 1:1 of maximum reproduction ratio and up to 31cm closest focusing distance
• Up to 154mm working distance (at near 1:1)
• Two focus modes are available - M/A and M
• The nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural.
• 62mm filter attachment size
