Nikon Nikkor AF 105mm F2D DC

Best lens I own

I use this lens on a D7000, giving a 35mm equivalent focal length of around 150mm. Makes it ideal for headshot portraits. I also use it in-studio for product photography. The lens is razor sharp and renders colors and contrast perfectly. People talk about this lens having a learning curve.

None better

This is the only Nikkor lens I have used that reminds me of the Leica glass I used to use. The results are unique. No it is not the "sharpest" lens made and the DC feature is somewhat obsolete with the advent of Photoslop, but pictures delineated with this tool at f2.0 are unlike any other.

Nikkor AF 105mm f/2 D DC - Review / Test Report

The build quality of the lens is excellent thanks to combination of metal and plastic parts with a Nikon "pro style" crinkle finish. The length of the lens remains constant regardless of the focus setting and the front element does not rotate due to an RF (Rear Focusing) design.

Nikon 105mm f/2D AF DC Nikkor review by wolfbreath

This lens is better than I expected. Image quality, build quality ...all of it. For portraits, or telephoto in general, I feel it's among the best lenses in existence from Nikon. Only a couple of minor issues. Focal lenght is a little long on DX. Not that convenient in tight spaces obviously.
