Nikon Z System. The Nikon Z 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro was designed specifically for cameras in Nikon’s full-frame Z-mount system. Z-mount lenses only work with Z-mount cameras, and Z-mount cameras are only natively compatible with Z-mount lenses.

Versatile Telephoto Macro Prime. The 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro provides a versatile focal length, an 11.4-inch minimum focusing distance, and a true 1:1 macro reproduction ratio, making it perfect for portraiture, nature photography, wildlife photography, product photography, and a broad range of other uses. The relatively fast f/2.8 aperture offers some shallow depth of field while allowing you to keep shooting even when the lights get dim. While this lens was designed for FX-format cameras, you can also use it with DX-format cameras on which it’ll provide a 175.5mm equivalent focal length.

Vibration Reduction. The built-in vibration reduction provides up to 4.5 stops of correction for minimizing camera shake at slower shutter speeds and producing sharper results when shooting hand-held.

Multi-Focus Autofocus System. This lens’s multi-focus system incorporates two synchronized autofocus drive units to give you fast, accurate performance while also reducing the color fringing and chromatic aberrations that are so common in macro lenses. This system’s stepping motors provide smooth, nearly silent performance that’s particularly suited to video applications. You also get full-time manual-focus override.

Advanced Optics. The 105mm’s eleven-group/sixteen-element optical system incorporates one aspherical element and three extra-low dispersion elements to combat chromatic aberrations, color fringing, coma, and distortions for superlative clarity and color accuracy, even at wide aperture settings. ARNEO and Nano Crystal coatings help keep ghosting, reflections, and flares at bay, and a fluorine finish on the front and rear elements helps prevent smudging.
