I used to love my Nikon 60mm f2.8 Macro.
Compact, light, with a protected deep set front lens and it worked perfectly for normal photography as an alternative to carrying about a 50mm lens.
I tried the newer 105mm macro with image stabilisation….only to discover IS doesn’t work on subjects closer than 8”. Which is a bit of a howler for a macro lens! That went back to WEX.
Aargh - I've just bought a AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Macro Lens from Park Cameras. I haven't received it yet. How would you know that was the case unless it's in the lens manual, without finding out the hard way.
I almost bought the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD instead.
I will e-mail them tonight and ask the question.
And I've sent the Sigma 70-200 back to upg24 - just within the 30 day return expiry date
........so I am currently lensless!Last edited on Tue Aug 5th, 2025 21:35 by
