105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Close-up Lens
The world’s first macro lens featuring a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and the Nikon Vibration Reduction System (VRII) allowing for high-quality hand-held macro shooting. The VRII function minimizes camera shake allowing photographers to shoot hand-held at as many as 4 shutter speeds slower* (at near infinity to 1/3 life size) than would otherwise be possible, assuring dramatically sharper images. A Nikon Extra – Low Dispersion (ED) glass element delivers superior optical performance for both digital and 35mm photography. ED glass minimizes chromatic aberrations, contributing to improved contrast and resolution performance. The incorporation of Nikon?s exclusive Nano – Crystal Coat technology further ensures superior optical performance by virtually eliminating internal lens – element reflections. Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet auto-focusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject working distance through the focus range. Non-Rotating Front Design provides for more convenient use with circular polarizing filters and R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System. Provides continuous focusing from Infinity to life-size (1:1), offering extra working distance in demanding conditions. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables fast and quiet autofocusing, and quick switching between autofocus and manual operation (M/A and M). The nine-blade rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural. |
