Lens Lust

OK, so I've been suffering from a little bit of "Lens Lust" the last few months. I was searching for a smaller, lighter, telephoto for situations where I didn't nead the hefty Nikon AFS VR 70-200 f2.8. The new Nikon AFS VR 105mm f2.8 Micro fit the bill EXACTLY! As an added bonus, it's a highly regarded close-up lens. It features a non-rotating front, Internal Focus (IF), Vibration Reduction (VRII), the fast Silent Wave Focusing Motor (SWM), and focuses from infinity to an astounding life-size (1:1) ratio. Best of all, it boasts a high-resolution/high optical performance with Nano Crystal Coat and Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements, which enhance overall image quality by further reducing flare and chromatic aberrations, contributing to improved color, contrast and clarity. This lens recently won the TIPA Award For Best Professional Lens. In a nut shell...this baby is fast, versatile, and sharp...just what the doctor ordered. :-)

Tough getting older...our toys become more and more expensive. Fortunately your new one pays for itself tenfold.

You dog. I knew I would need a prime circa 100mm lens. My 70-200 2.8 just would not be enough. It never ends.
