More 105mm vr macro I'm limited to a very small species of bugs in my region. For some reason bugs don't like Nova Scotia much. No shortage of skeeters though! Anyway this is what I was able to catch on a hot sunny day. I'm finding hard to find use for my tripod with this lens as it works quite well handheld. C+C always appreciated. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1034&message=19277312 |

105mm vr critique Not sure what kind of bug this is but I captured it while sucking the life out of this fly. I took the advice of some on here and tried using a tripod for a change. I went with different settings to experiment. Anywhere from f/10 to f/45 with exposures ranging from 1/500 to 4sec Really would like to get feedback so I can improve on these. Seems they all look like winners when I check the lcd but never as tack sharp as I'd like them to be on my computer. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1034&message=19350727 |

Re: 105mm vr critique Fly Info Thanks again Eric This is one that was shot with remote timer at f/45, 4 sec, spot metering. I found I was getting better quality shots using the small apertures on tripod then large by hand. So either that says something about the lens or how shaky my hands are. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1034&message=19352269 |

VR 105 Macro + TC-14e & SB-R1C1 Hi I have been trying out the above combo on my D2x for a couple of weeks and thought I would share some of my images with you. All my images were taken with the Nikon D2x with the 105 vr macro with 1.4 tele-convertor. I used the Nikon wireless SB-R1C1 with 4 flash heads, 2 on full power (above) and 2 on 1/4 power (below). Images are iso 100 and taken on manual 1/250th sec at f stops from 16-32. Some of the shots you see have been cropped. The Locations in Cornwall were mainly, Cudden Point, Upton Towans, Penlee Point & Rame Head. The locations in France were, Mont Valier Nr Seix, St-Pons-de-Thomieres, Rennes-le-Chateau, Hautpoul I have tried to identify all the butterflies but have not been able to do so!!! Any help or corrections appreciated and comments on the photography would be most welcome. If you have time to look & help the images are at http://www.wildlifephotography-cp.co.uk/... .../Butterfly%20Album/index.html Many thanks Chris Just one to get you going! http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19367914 |

105mm VR Hi, I have in the past played at getting some macro shots using the Nikon 5T and 6T close up lenses. However what a different world it is with a dedicated macro lens. To say i am pleased is an understatement. comments and advice welcome Cheers Ray http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19407964Re: 105mm VR Wow, Outstanding samples, particularly the first 3. Congratulations! Just for curiosity (also being a D200/VR105 user -- getting nowhere your results so far...): This photo shoot session included how many shots? In other words, how many keepers in percentage terms? Thank you for sharing, Miguel http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19408455Re: 105mm VR Hi, First can I thank everyone for their comments it is appreciated (criticism also welcome) My flash bracket is nothing more than two pieces of aluminium covered with felt and the sc17 cord I am still learning how to use this lens, and have found that the auto focus is fine up to a point. but to get the spider or the small fly I had to manually focus until i get it almost right then with the camera set to Continuous focus i am able to track. All the photo's were hand held Manual mode f16 250sec. i do not get many oof shots as the camera is set to fire on focus priority. cheers Ray http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19409029Please post more when you can You have inspired me to get my 105VR out. -- Greg Gebhardt in Jacksonville, Florida http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19409747 Re: Please post more when you can Hi Greg, I bet you'r sorry you asked. The spider is having a meal of a butterfly. Notice it has lost two legs doesn't seem to hamper it though. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19410121 |

Re: Ultra-sharp Portrait/Macro lens? The 105/2.8 VR N Macro might be your ticket - but I warn you - while it is INSANELY contrasty and sharp as all get out, I don't think it has the character that makes a great portrait lens - it CERTAINLY can be used as one - it's a nice all arounder, but portrait lenses to me should excel more at differentiating the middle tonal ranges with excellence and maybe not have to be the ultimate in either sharpness or contrast. Ironically, both the 85/1.4 and 105/2 DC are both *extremely* sharp and have exactly the character needed for portraits, but neither is obviously a macro lens. It might almost be impossible to have both - but if that's what you're looking for, the 105/2.8 VR N might be something to investigate.... -m http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=19478345 |

105 vr butterflies Hello fellow travellers. Here is one of my journeys. I bought the 105 macro VR. I couldn't wait to test it against my old faithful Tamron 90 Di, so I pulled out the tape, newspapers and coins. The 105 vr FAILED every single sharpness test. It seemed to take darker shots too, which means I would have to use a higher ISO. The Tamron seem sharper and even quicker to focus?!? The test was handheld only, with VR off and on, with af/af-s on and off. The only redeeming quality was that the 105 vr took exquisit portait shots, on par with the 70-200 2.8 and 85 1.4, both of which can produce a magical 3D effect. (I think it has something to do with having 9 blades.) But I wanted a Macro lens. Before taking it back, I decided to test it out in the field. Here are the results. I don't know if you like the following pictures or not, but I love this lens. I cannot explain why the Tamron took better pictures of newspapers and coins, but to get this lens from me, you will have to pry it "out of my cold dead hands." This is what I have learned. There is more to a lens then just sharpness. That "darkness" I thought would bring an higher ISO actually added more contrast. 1 2 3 4 The WB is not off in this last shot. This is actually what I was seeing. The ragged edges of the wing, means it's an old butterfly. Only young ones have perfect wings.
