1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
lens. This is a high-performance Micro lens featuring special Vibration
Reduction and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also employs
a Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism.

Major features
• At infinity (
∞
) to 1/30x reproduction ratio, pictures can be taken at shutter speeds
3 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR lens, thus expanding the
range of usable shutter speed options and making shooting without a tripod much
easier. (*The effects of VR on shutter speed are measured according to Camera
and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards; FX-format lenses are
measured using FX-format digital cameras, DX-format lenses using DX-format
cameras. Zoom lenses are measured at maximum zoom.)
• Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning
from camera shake and vibration reduction works effectively.
• Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the Focus
mode switch.
• Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change
from autofocusing to manual focusing.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a
Nikon camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject
distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
• The use of an ED (extra-low dispersion) lens element ensures sharp pictures
virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that
produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or
behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
