Product Description
Product Description
Compact and lightweight DX format Macro lens with high-quality optics. Equipped with Nikon's second generation Vibration Reduction system, it delivers steady images to both the sensor and viewfinder, enabling more flexible hand-held shooting. The 1:1 reproduction ratio enables life-size close-ups of extremely fine textures and details. The smooth autofocus delivered by the Silent Wave Motor combines with the internal focus system to make it ideal for getting really close to subjects. Easy to handle, this is the perfect lens with which to explore the world of close-up photography.

Auto-focus is amazingly fast and silent, and the vibration reduction gives me 3 to 4 f-stops leverage. Photographing the mantis, I don't apply the auto-focus most of the time; instead, I focus manually to the closest distance, and then leaning forward (using a mono-pod to eliminate vertical and lateral movement) until the subject becomes sharp. Works like a charm, but requires some practice.
This lens has a very shallow depth of field at f3.5 - it measures in fractions of centimeters. The pictures this camera-lens combination generates are brilliant, with true colors and (provided the focus is correct) very sharp.
The lens is somewhat lightweight, using predominantly plastic materials. No cheap feeling on it, though, everything is well built and works flawlessly.
I like also the M/A functionality, where you can adjust/override the focus provided by the AF module manually without having to switch to the manual focus mode first; the lens has an AF/M switch, so you can operate it completely in manual mode.
The minimal focusing distance is very useful and much shorter than the most critters would allow you to use anyway. One nice feature is a scale that tells you the reproduction rate for the distance you focus at.
One small concern I had was the 3.5 f-stop instead of the more common 2.8. But in practical use, that difference is negligible, and would come into play only at some very limited occasions, like with portraits of people. Which, by the way, this lens also does an exceptional job at.
All in all, with over 35 years of photographic experience under my belt, I have to say that this is one of the best lenses I ever had. It beats some of my $1000+ lenses, that I had with the old film SLRs. If you are in the market for a macro lens for your Nikon DX-format DSLR, look no further.

Pros:
1. The minimum focus distance is 5 1/4 inches from the front of the lens. This is way better than my point and shoot. That's 5 1/4 inches at 1:1 which i rarely use because of the thin dof and my shaky hands. At 1:2 it's 9 inches and you can fill the frame with a bee.
2. The lens is plastic but feels solid in weight and construction. The mount is metal. It sticks out 4 1/2 inches from the front of my d40. Really a tidy package considering all it can do.
3. Very sharp images, sharper than my 18-55 and 55-200, which do not have vr so that contributes.
4. The focus switch. Two positions, M and M/A. The M is manual of course and mostly what i use. I have to use manual with the larger magnification ratios (1:2,1:1.6,1:1.4,1:1.2 and 1:1). On auto the lens freaks out due to slight changes i make in camera position. The M/A is auto focus with a manual override. The auto focus works great with anything over 3 feet and the override is useful for slight changes in subject position. If you are steady or an old hand at macro maybe the auto focus will work at closer magnifications.
5. The scale window. It is on top of the lens and easy to read. It shows magnification ratio and distance to subject in feet and meters. When i want a macro shot i choose 1:1.2, 1:1.4 or 1:1.6. On manual focus i focus by moving the camera and as long as i don't touch the focus ring the ratio stays put. This is important to me because i'm not a big fan of bokeh and want as much dof as possible. Once my exposure is set i can concentrate on focus and composition.
Cons:
Like i said, this is my first macro lens so i don't know if i'm missing a feature other lenses have. There is nothing about this lens i do not like.
I made this purchase because of the 85mm and the brand. I bought from amazon because i knew if there was a problem or if i didn't like the lens returning would be easy and painless. I do reccomend this lens as a first time macro user.

Top reviews from other countries
L’obiettivo sembra apposto (ho effettuato pochi scatti e mi riservo di aggiornare). Perfetta via di mezzo tra il 60 2.8 micro (per le mie esigenze corto e non stabilizzato) e l’ottimo 105 2.8 micro (costoso e pesante), nitido e incisivo. Lo sfocato è morbido e piacevole. La costruzione “plasticosa”, ma di qualità (ora sono tutti così) garantisce leggerezza e compattezza, particolari non indifferente se accoppiato a un corpo macchina pesante, magari con battery grip o nella macro a mano libera. Paraluce robusto. Consigliatissimo.
Sowohl für Sachaufnahmen als auch für Makro-Aufnahmen in freier Natur sehr gut zu brauchen.
Auf jeden Fall besser als die meisten anderen als "Makro" deklarierten Objektive:
Es ist ein "echtes" Makro-Objektiv: Abbildungs-Maßstab ab 1:1, also auch für sehr kleine Objekte und z.B. Insekten geeignet, man kann sehr nah ans Motiv ran (dann natürlich entspr. noch geringere Tiefenschärfe als im Sehr-Nah-Bereich üblich).
Das Objektiv liegt sehr gut und sicher in der Hand, trotz geringem Gewicht sehr sicher zu handhaben, gute stabile Optik und Haptik (Kunststoff-Korpus, Metall-Bajonett). Dennoch besser immer zumindest mit einem Einbeinstativ fotografieren und/oder mehrere Aufnahmen vom Motiv machen: Auch kleinste Wackler sind besonders im Makrobereich sehr deutlich als Unschärfe sichtbar. Dagegen ist natürlich auch der OS Bildstabilisator machtlos, den man wie bei anderen Objektiven besser immer ausschalten sollte.
Spezielle Makro-Objektiv-Vorteile:
Scharfstellring: Optional MAN oder AUTO+MAN mit ständiger manueller Korrigierbarkeit (ohne Umschalten)! Funktioniert erstaunlich gut!
Langer manueller Scharfstellweg für präzises Fein-Scharfstellen.
Sehr guter, sehr schneller Autofokus, besonders im Nahbereich.
Gute "Bokeh"-Hintergrund-Unschärfe.
Wie bei den meisten Festbrennweite-Objektiven im Sehr-Nah-Bereich ggf. minimal größerer Tiefenschärfe-Bereich.
(MEMO: 1–2mm mehr ist im Sehr-Nah-Bereich schon sehr "viel"!!).
Für mehr Tiefenschärfe ist mehr Abstand zum Motiv erforderlich.
Wie bei den meisten anderen Objektiven:
Bei Blenden ab B.18–25 jedoch Kamera-bedingte (?) bzw. Objektiv-bedingte Beugungs-Unschärfen, ohne erkennbare Regel:
mal ist's sogar bei B.32 OK (diese Blende hat das Objektiv offiziell gar nicht, geht aber dennoch), dann ist qualitativ kein Unterschied z.B. zu B.22, dann wieder nicht mal bei B.18–22 scharf. Das ist aber offenbar bes. bei Digitalkameras normal, ist bei allen meinen Objektiven so. Kleine Blendenöffnungen sind eh fast nicht bei "normalem" Licht und normaler ISO zu erreichen.
Optimal ist ca.B. 18-22.
Als Tele-Makro ist es natürlich schon wegen der (Fest-)Brennweite nur bedingt für "normale" Aufnahmen großer Objekte brauchbar:
Wg. "engem" 85 mm-Bildwinkel nur begrenzt für Landschaft und Porträts etc. verwendbar! Ansonsten natürlich auch für weitere Abstände als Makro-Bereich einwandfrei verwendbar.
Keine erkennbaren Verzeichnungen. Dennoch in der Kamera die digitale "automatische Verzeichnungskorrektur" besser immer eingeschaltet lassen (funktioniert nur mit NIKON-Objektiven, und dann einwandfrei. Ist funktionslos bei der Kamera unbekannten "Fremd"-Objektiven).
Wer im Makrobereich bes. für bestimmte Sachaufnahmen die typische "rundliche" Weitwinkel-Perspektive, braucht zusätzlich ein WW-Makro-Objektiv.
Könnte in seltenen Fällen relevant sein:
Im Objektiv ist ein Silent-Wave-Motor verbaut, der auf Ultraschallbasis arbeitet und eine geräuscharme Autofokussierung ermöglicht. Ein Nachteil könnte sich dadurch bei der Tierfotografie ergeben: Viele Tiere (inkl. Insekten) können diese hochfrequenten Töne wahrnehmen und vielleicht anders als erwartet reagieren. Alternativ kann man manuell scharfstellen, was mit "normalen" Objektiven nicht so gut geht wie mit diesem.
