Review VerdictNikon has a long tradition with delivering high-performance macro lenses - and this history continues with the Nikkor Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S. It is an exceptionally sharp lens even at maximum aperture. The bokeh is smooth and axial CAs are basically absent. The vignetting is a bit high at f/2.8 but it's not a showstopper really. Just like most of the competition, Nikon relies on high-quality engineering plastics on a metal mount for the lens body. Extensive weather-sealing has been incorporated, of course. The large focus ring is rubberized thus nicely grippy. The AF is fast at standard focus distances but you should take advantage of the focus limiter for close-ups. Similarily, the VR is efficient at longer focus distances, but keep in mind that this drops due to the increased angular movement at macro distances. Overall, Nikon has a winner here, thus ... "Highly Recommended!". Support us by shopping at: * Amazon US * Amazon Europe * B&H * Adorama * KEH (used gear)

AI-assisted summary — verify against linked sourcesWhere can this lens be adapted?
The Nikon Z mount has a flange distance of 16 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work
- Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
- Nikon Z DX lenses cover APS-C only.
