1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens. This is
a high-performance Micro lens featuring special Vibration Reduction (VR2) and high-
speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs a Silent (S) Wave Motor to
drive the focusing mechanism.
■Major features
• At infinity (∞) to 1/30x reproduction ratio, pictures can be taken at shutter speeds
approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR2 lens, thus expanding
the range of usable shutter speed options and making shooting without a tripod
much easier. (*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of vibration
reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)
• Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning from
camera shake and vibration reduction works effectively.
• Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the Focus mode
switch.
• Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change from
autofocusing to manual focusing.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon camera
having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject distance information is
transferred from the lens to the camera body.
• The use of an ED (extra-low dispersion) lens element ensures sharp pictures virtually
free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly
circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are rendered
as pleasing blurs.
• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that fine,
clear images can be reproduced under any shooting conditions, from the sunny
outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
• The closest focusing distance possible is 0.314m (1 ft.)
■Important
• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts 9.
• AF-I/AF-S Teleconverters TC-14E/TC-14EII/TC-17EII/TC-20E/ TC-20EII can be used.
(VR and AE functions are available. Autofocus operation is not possible.)
• With the TC-20E/TC-20EII attached, minimum aperture is limited to within f/90.
• When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as the
D2-Series and D50, the lens’ picture angle becomes 15°20’ and its 35mm
equivalent focal length is approx. 157.5mm.
