  • It's one thing to see a super clear and focused picture with awesome bokeh that someone else
  • It works in the studio, but if your subject is walking towards you, the wind is blowing on the flowers, kids blowing out birthday candles, or and insect is ambling up a stem, this lens will NOT adapt quickly enough to capture a clear picture.
  • It does take spectacular pictures and the bokeh is worth every penny!
  • but I can take some really nice pictures of people and landscape with this lens.
  • but it's just fantastic when you realize you can also take fabulous pictures with the right equipment.

Reviews around result (5.00 of 5)

  • I use it mainly for indoor sports (hockey/basketball) and the results are superb.
  • Green/purple fringing is pretty much non-existent - I've shot people against the sun at wide-open aperture with great results
  • This lens is a monster size wise and can be a bit much for carrying around on foot but the results are worth every footstep!

Reviews around isolation (5.00 of 5)

  • It is a great portrait lens - very sharp and fantastic isolation
  • This lens is as sharp as it goes
  • Personally I prefer the increased isolation of the 200 f2 and I find the 200 has a bit more color pop than the 105

Reviews around aperture (5.00 of 5)

  • This lens is as sharp as it goes
  • It’s designed with a range of ideal focal lengths for portrait photography, and the wide maximum aperture makes it easy to blur the background—which I love!I enjoy being behind the lens and I simply LOVE portrait photography

  • It is a great portrait lens - very sharp and fantastic isolation
  • Probably because 105mm makes for a really good portrait length, people assume that this is a portrait lens and while it is an excellent lens for that purpose, I wouldn't necessarily pigeon-hole it like that
  • I also like the distance better than 85mm f/1.4, to get a good portrait shot with

Reviews around focus (3.56 of 5)

  • Though this lens claims to have the same “Silent Wave Motor” (SWM) focus system of other high-end Nikon lenses, the focus isn’t fast enough to adapt to motion of any kind.
  • I was happy with the results for the most parts but wanted automatic focus capability and an improvement on the chromatic aberration I was noticing
  • Well, you can just bump up the F-stop, which again defeats the purpose of having such a lens
  • Cat eye bokeh, lack of micro-contrast, poor dynamic range, too shallow depth of field at f1.4 which defeats the purpose of buying this lens, plastic body made in China, slow as hell auto focus, no vibration reduction
  • The focus is too slow for field work.

Reviews around length (2.94 of 5)

  • It kills the 85 1.4g too.
  • Probably because 105mm makes for a really good portrait length, people assume that this is a portrait lens and while it is an excellent lens for that purpose, I wouldn't necessarily pigeon-hole it like that
  • It is a great focal length in terms of flexibility, distance and mobility
  • Dump your old 85mm G, Otus and Art Lens, this Nikon 105mm E is as sharp and good as Zeiss Otus with Auto Focus and without the poor bokeh & unreliability of Sigma Art lens, which I would never buy again

  • Obviously the lens is fast but it is sharp as well and with the resolution of the D810 well worth the extra money.
