Professional lens not only for macros

Technically, it offers:
+ A through aperture of 2.8
+ Vibration Reduction (VR) Image stabilizer
+ The fixed focal length of 105mm
+ Metal housing
+ Nano Crystal Coat

The lens designed for the professional purposes (golden ring and logos) makes at first glance and first touch a very solid impression, with its weight of about 600g, it is very comfortable to hold.
In conjunction with my d200 and! Battery grip! it has a perfect handling.

Photos: as already wrote my previous reviewers, has the
105mm Vr brilliant image quality and sharpness "out of the box"

Unlike prop. Thought the lens can be used not only very good at macro!

I put it in portrait photography like a because my 50mm 1.4 is sometimes a little too short and you "around gymnastics" with the 105s focal length the model not right under your nose.
Macros the VR is rather useless (since one anyway tripod and cable release used SVA) more practical for portraits, etc.

Very effective can make sharp photos as well as with flexibility even in lower light. Assuming the model is quiet, can be at a shutter speed of 1/10 still achieve very good and sharp results.

Normally I would write down the disadvantages, however, there are none. Only a small reason to buy-doubt could be the price.
This is justified, in my opinion:
Because the lens is processed professionally and superior image quality.
