So far, I am more than impressed. I'm still waiting for my -2.0 correction lens for the viewfinder, so I will wait until I have tried that until I comment further. I have also downloaded the Nikon handbook for the lens, and edited out the non-Engish bits which makes it alot smallerI don't know if you have tried the Tamron 90mm SP with all the buzzers and bells. The IS is supposed to work through the whole range. I mentioned to Park Cameras that I might want to swap the Nikkor for the Tamron, but I may buy the Tamron and do a back to back "evaluation" and return whichever lens fails the Tests.
Lenses and cameras ….they all have quirks. We just have to decide if we can live with them.
Optically there was nothing wrong with my 105. I just felt a bit let down by the fall off in VR functionality (even though the likelihood was I would never use it that close). It was a bit like buying car not getting the claimed mpg. I then noticed it was heavier and fatter than my 60mm, not as versatile as the 60mm which doubled as an 50mm…..and I suppose the 105 just didn’t survive the honeymoon…me being a grumpy groom.
