Nikon 105mm f/2D AF DC Nikkor Review

The 105mm ƒ/2D AF DC provided excellent results for sharpness with just slightly soft results when used wide open. Stopped down to even ƒ/2.8 results were dramatically sharper, and by ƒ/5.6 it's as sharp as it gets.

Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor AI-S

I own an AI-S sample since 1996 and use it on Nikon FM-2n and F3.

Great optical performance, a perfect blend of colour rendition, smoothness and sharpness ; Tough build and mechanics, super smooth operation ; Very inexpensive in today's digital era

Best when fit on a proper camera body, which means a Nikon film camera or a pro level Nikon DSLR (due to need of aperture ring coupling) with adequate focousing screen

Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor AI-S

i normally don't write reviews but i thought it might help some people out there. I shoot canon and have the nikkor 50 1.2 and 105 f2.5 mounted on my 7D with adapters. A word of warning: these lenses are easier to shoot with on nikon bodies (obviously)...

smooth bokeh, good contrast even wide open, sharp even wide open, light and compact, exceptional build quality

would be better on full frames and inconsistent exposure with my 7D (don't know about other canons). except for those none really

Nikon 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor AI-S

A very nice lens for people and for shooting flower and garden pics. Colors are good and the bokeh is really nice. No problem shooting wide open. Probably the best Ais lens that I have used.

Great bokeh. Wonderful focal length on D300. Sharp. Compact with built in shade

Auto focus can be a problem at times things are moving fast
