Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED (Nano “N” + VR) — F-Mount Macro Lens
Legendary 1:1 macro sharpness with VR stabilization — doubles as a beautiful portrait lens
If you want one lens that can do true macro and flattering portraits, this is the classic. The Nikon 105mm f/2.8G VR Micro is known for crisp detail, smooth background blur, and a comfortable working distance for close-ups (so you’re not right on top of your subject). It’s full-frame (FX) compatible, works great on DX bodies too, and the Nano Crystal Coat (“N” badge) helps with contrast and flare control. VR makes handheld shooting far easier for non-moving subjects and general use.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is it full-frame compatible?
A: Yes — it’s Nikon F-mount and works on FX and DX bodies.
Q: Can I use it as a portrait lens?
A: Absolutely. 105mm is a classic portrait focal length with great subject separation.
Q: Does VR help with macro?
A: VR helps most for general handheld shooting and closer focusing, but for true macro (1:1), you’ll still get the best results with good technique (and/or more light), since subject movement matters.

A: No — optics are clean with no dust or mold visible inside.
