Just brought the lens from Lord iwith a free Hoya HMC filter.
Just did a few test shots and the result is fantastic. Thanks for the recommendation.:thumbsup:
That defeats the purpose of the nano crystal coating.. ;p I agree that shoulld have asked for Nikon NC or at the very least a Hoya Pro1D protector.

Well, the lengths we go to for our shots... :bsmilie:
We now have live view. Soon, we'll have articulate LCD screens. These are blessings for macro shooters. :bsmilie:

Thinking of buying a macro lens. AF-S Micro 105 f/2.8 VR vs AF Micro 105mm f/2.8D, which one should I go for? -$250 difference.
Go for the AF-D version. Unless you are going to be shooting portraits with it, then you may like the AF-S better... Coz with macro, most of the time you'd be focusing manually.

Not so easy to get tricked by multiple objects in the screen, else the hunting will continue and you'll find it hard to get it in focus.

The depth of field in macro shots is very shallow, and usually there are fine details. If the focus is even slightly off or focused at a wrong point, you can tell from the photo. Manual focusing helps to precisely at the spot you want. I use a DG-2 magnifying eyepiece to help me do that. A focusing rail will also help when you are on a tripod.

Hi all,
I am a newbie and this is my first post. I am thinking of getting a decent DSLR camera and a good macro lens. It is interesting to hear what people say and see the shots using the lens. I think I'll either go for the Nikon 105mm or the Tamron 90mm. May I know image quality wise, is there a major difference between the 2? I know that the Nikon AF-S 105mm macro is a fix length lens compare to the Nikon AF-D or Tamron. What are the advantages having a fix length lens compare to a variable lens one? Sorry, newbies got lots of questions. Thanks for reading.

The image quality will differ of course, but are you willing to spend the money for the AF-S 105VR? That's another question.
A prime lens often has better picture quality and is much lighter than a zoom. But a zoom is much lighter than a few prime lenses which are needed to cover the range of the zoom. Read up more on Prime vs Zooms.
