[Yapster]

Even with Nikon's own 2x TC, I am not sure if the 70-200mm can go to 1:1 ratio of what the 105mm vr can achieve lor. And the IQ will not be there.

Brudder, BBB back the 105mm la :bsmilie:

anyone intend to use this lens for the upcoming Singapore F1 GP? Do you think it will be neccessary to use flash and a converter to shoot the cars during the race?

It depends on where you will be sitting and how far away from the F1 cars, and which direction you will be taking.

VR is completely useless unfortunately because you need really high shutter speed to capture a F1 car in motion. The F2.8 will be good.

A pro body will be preferred because AF speed is critical. :sweat:

Hehe, not now bro. Focus on other area first before i can really go macro.

I do more of abstract macro la. So the 105VR is a bit overkilled for me.

Hehe, my P5100 with/without SB-800 can do pretty fun abstract macro too. ;p

Maybe the price drop is because of DPreview review of the 70-200mm.

So overall we're left with a lens which is a great option for most potential buyers, but simply isn't quite up to the demands of full frame capture. For anyone using the Nikon's DX format DSLRs, the incorporation of image stabilization alone means that it's the best option currently available, but FX shooters may well wish to think long and hard before buying.

yes,it can be done. Bear in mind it is heavy, so far the 105mm VR is still my prefer macro lens compare to Tamrom sp 90 or 180mm.

Hehe, i am not good with insects macro la and no time to focus on it. That's the main reason i sold it off.;p

Thanks for the tips and advice, Ryan. I look forward to see the photos taken by this lens. Please share with us

It is a lovely lens with lovely bokeh.
First time using it on a holiday as a walkabout lens.

What you can shoot with it ( or any lens ) will be up to your imagination

I've got no issue with sharpness with the D700. But on a FX, the 70-200 don't seems to be able to achieve the same reach as on DX on sports but is now superb for indoors! :thumbsup:
