Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

105 Micro AF, VR

This is my favourite lens of all time.  My photography tutor from my college course last year has the non-VR and he totally coveted mine and borrowed it a couple of times and came back drooling.  It is an amazing lens. I didn't really know what I was buying at the time but I am so glad I did.

If you are used to MF you'll enjoy it - the AF has trouble sometimes and can't lock easily.

and came back drooling

Not cheap, but it seems worth it !
I was used to the 85mm on DX for portraits, so I guess the reach of the 105 would compensate somewhat that habit in FX ?
Anyhow, and even if LEP thinks I'm a youngster ( :-) ), I like shooting small critters in summer in my favorite island and can feel my back or my legs when kneeling or sprawling in the thorns with the 55 or the 60/2.8 AFD...!
This one will give me a bit of respite... Till old age when I'll need a 300 or 400 micro !
