Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you recommend a lens case (such as Lowepro) for this lens?

A: The Lowepro Lens Case 11 x 14cm (Black), BH #LOLC1114, is a great option for the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens.

Q: 2. How does this lens compare to the Nikon AF DC-Nikkor 105 mm F/2D Lens?

A: At the same apertures, it performs just very slightly better than the DC, but almost the same. If images are produced by skilled shooters, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference in a blind test at the same apertures. Of course the new lens goes to f/1.4 where the depth of field effect is dramatic, which is the main selling point. The new lens has slightly more distortion but less flare and CA owing to better coatings. The new lens does not have a DC control ring to manipulate bokeh. The new lens does not have an aperture ring, unlike the DC-Nikkor, so it is practically worthless for classic Nikon SLRs. The new lens is light and plasticky feeling, unlike the older solid metal and glass crinkle-coated DC-Nikkor. The new lens has a AF-S in-lens motor, which will burn out after some years and will render it a manual focus lens when Nikon decides to stop making replacement motors, as they have already done for other top-of-the-line AF-S lenses...whereas the 105/2DC with screwdriver AF will still be working just fine a hundred years from now.

Q: 3. I have the old 105. This one is not a macro I take it...?

A: No, it is not a macro. I'm sure you could convert it to one with extension tubes, but haven't tried that.

Q: 4. Does that lens fully work (all apertures) with a SLR Nikon F6?

A: Unfortunately, as the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens uses a new electromagnetic aperture design, you would not be able to adjust the aperture of the lens when connected to the older Nikon F6 35mm Film SLR Camera. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens' aperture can only be controlled when used on the following cameras: D5, D4 series, D3 series, Df, D850, D810, D810A, D800 series, D750, D700, D610, D600, D500, D300 series, D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5600, D5500, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3400, D3300, D3200, D3100, Nikon 1 J1, J2, J3, J4, J5 with FT-1, Nikon 1 V1, V2, V3 with FT-1, Nikon 1 S1, S2 with FT-1.

Q: 5. I was wondering if this lens is weather sealed so that I can take photos in less then ideal conditions light rain or in the winter time with those big wet snow flakes coming down at a fast pace. Thank You!

A: you can buy a cover to protect it.

Q: 6. Will this lens work with a teleconverter?

A: Yes, this lens will be compatible with teleconverters.

Q: 7. I was wondering seeing that this lens hasn't got VR on it. how would it be to shoot sports or aircraft in flight at a airshow. or racecars at a race track. Or would I be better off using the 24-70mm f2.8E ED VR lens for taking these pictures. Because of the price for these 2 lens is close to one another I'm trying to decide which lens would be the better choice. Thank You!

A: Not sure if you've actually had the chance to hold this in your hands, but despite the pictures, it is a big lens. But not that big that VR is needed. It's has a large diameter but short length. That being said I'm sure you'll find it useful for many things.However, having taken pictures of air shows (Naval Academy graduations and Andrews AFB) and race cars (Indy 500, Pocono 500 etc..) There are better lenes. At both types of events I use the Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | S on a tripod with a three axis head for hand held I use my Nikon V3 with the 1 NIKKOR VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6. The Nikon 1 system is light enough to track fast moving jets, cars, and birds. I also thinking that the 105 is too short for what you're saying you want to use if for unless your within a hundred feet or so, outside that you may want to use a 200mm minimum.

Q: 8. How does the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 ART compare to the Nikon 105mm f1.4? Im looking to purchase for portraits on a Nikon D3 & D850.

A: I am in the process of evaluating and I decided on Nikon for several reasons: 1.size and weight are much less than sigma 105. 2. 82mm filter means I can buy an inexpensive adaptor and use the 95mm ND and polarizing filters I already own. 105mm filters are expensive. 3. Two of the web reviews noted many more out of focus pictures with sigma when the subject was moving toward camera. One had woman walk toward both lenses and found big difference. 4.Although Nikon isn't quite as sharp as the sigma, it is described as more sharp than my 85mm 1.4 Nikon which should be fine.

Q: 9. Does the replace the Nikon 135mm?

A: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED Lens is a similar focal length to the Nikon 135mm lens; it doesn't replace it, it's just a different focal length.

Q: 10. Any comparison between Nikon 105mm F/1.4 vs Nikon 85mm f/18G -- which one is better as a portrait lens?

A: Both the AF-S 85mm f/1.8G and this AF-S 105mm f/1.4E ED are very sharp. With the 105mm, you would get the slightly longer focal length and 2/3 of a stop brighter maximum aperture. While those two factors can be helpful, this lens would have the electromagnetic diaphragm which is most compatible with the newer Nikon bodies.
