Why Food Photographers LOVE this LENS

I had the 105 AF-D and fell in love with that lens, I then upgraded to the 105 2.8 VR AF-S and it as you'd expect a it's a notch better than the AF-D. With Nikon you can never go wrong with any of this lenses. They are so darn good you'll look back at your photos and not think, I wish I had the newer version although yeah the newers are a notch better but the old always hold they're own and do fantastic work.

I love my Sigma 56mm f1.4 (90mm equiv) on my Canon R7... however the minimum focus distance kills me. I wish it was a macro lens too.

OMG..... what is B role???? I'm so out of the loop..... I'm here to learn though.

Glad i have stumbled across your channel, you explain things very well. I mainly shoot macro but I can see why this length would suit still life, food etc because of the things you have explained. I used to use a sigma 105mm macro but now use a Laowa 100mm macro. I will probably use the laowa if i end up doing still life or similar work. Keep up with the great work. I have subscribed.

Always so helpful ❤

Forever Nikon

I know that I'm late but I want this lens so bad.(105 micro) and I feel the same as you about my Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 S lens, I love it ❤ Great video 📸

Wow , look at those berries. I'm not a food photographer and I love my 105 MC lens.

I use the Nikkor 60mm f2.8 Macro, prefer it for the majority of food photos I take due to the extra depth of field you get vs the 105.

You can crop in with the Z7 with plenty of resolution for online content... I enjoy your perspective and style of presenting your videos; thank you!

Fantastic review.

This is also my favorite portrait lens. It's super versatile for a fixed focal length lens.

I am so excited for you Joanie, but I'm just about ready to cry buckets since I own a Canon and purchased the Canon EF 100mm F/2.8 Macro USM lens. As a teacher by day, I can't afford to start over with a Nikon and its lens. Please, please tell me what you recommend. Thank you! I've been following your channel for years and years, as a part-time food blogger (15 years old) and appreciate you, your joy, and your expertise. I hope that you reply. Grazie!

Have it….LOVE it!

Nicely done video and very educational. I just got a Z7ii and have been thinking about this Marco lens for some time. Your video is very convincing, what is the device on top of the hot shoe? tk you.

yes, a tripod is a must, not only dof reason, but the magnification ratio, as it is soo high in a 100+ focal length lens the vibration causes MOTION BLUR, this is the cause of out of focus images, and unlike the F-mount cousin (f 2.8 105 D {also has the pn-11 extension tube as a kit with it}) THIS z model is impossible to hand_hold, due to this reason, even for telephoto and portrait shots.

Thanks for another great tutorial. Looking forward to getting this lens for my Nikon Z7. I have recently been using the new Laowa 85mm f5.6 x2 macro manual lens for Z mount. It's really great and so small, light and easy to use. As a 2:1 macro, I got it for shooting insects, but I gave it a try for food photography and loved it for my 45-degree shots. Would love to hear if any of you guys have tried it and what your thoughts might be?

“I ain’t giving it up any time soon” gotta love it. Professional and real. Thank you.

It is macro lens and not micro lens. Macro is for close focusing ability. And micro is extremely small thing which cannot be seen by eyes.

you talk to much, we want pictures videos not talking....

I want to Autofocus you.. like a Straberry ,Those Eyes

I use Nikon's much older 28-105mm f/4-4.5 zoom-macro. But it's also a full frame, so gets cropped to ~40-150mm. Maybe if I can ever afford a full fame sensor it'll be the best lens ever.

What’s shaking bacon?

Just found your channel! Thanks for being clear and straight to the point. Just waiting on this lens coming to get started with Macro. Been a graphic design for years and working with the type of images your creating is going to help me I think! Just got the Z7ii a month ago and have the 50mm , 24-70 2.8, so I’m glad that’s me sorted with the right lenses lol! I’m just trying to think what I need lighting wise, not having much room, I’ll have to be wise on that! Been watching all your videos all day so getting a better idea what I need to get started! Thanks again from Scotland

I think
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO is a better choice.

I didn’t realize Nikon was still in business…

10 years ago, im sure that you're very beauty

best thing about this channel is the lively lovely mood of this photographer.

Oh Yes!!!!! I know what you mean. I have the Nikon 105 vr/s on order. The test results are out of this world. Can't wait. Nikon I want my lens.

she is sooooooooooo cute <3 am her to see her face

doesn't a full sensor have less of a depth of field than a crop sensor?

Congratulations enjoy

Wtf is a "Micro lens"?

great lens but i can get the same effect using extension tubes and with bream bokehlecious goodness at a very low cost

im not sure if its delibrate but u gotta start teaching hahah you are an amazin teacher.. i know u are just sharing your experience with us but i learned tons from you that i havent learn in school and guess what i am a graphics designer they should have thought those things to us at school :D i feel so lucky to discover your channel.. i cannot thank you enough

AMAZING

Canon's goes to 1.4X and has some cool feature to control the background blur..

macro and MICRO are different terms, True macro is 1:1 reproduction of objects in the sensor ( life size) 1x magnification, but Micro simply means you have a close focus distance, both terms are shortened versions of their scientific cousins ( macroscopy & Microscope/microscopy)- mainly medicine, but this is where they come from.

I got a Tamron 100MM Macro F2.8 Lens and my Canon 50MM F2.1 Lens for Close up food photography

Super close up its not food photography.And this lens dont give dramatic prespective.Its not good for food and dishes photography

Love your videos! You pronounce Nikkor correctly (but Naikon the American way - isn't quite the correct pronunciation). Other than that - great job!

Love it. Especially when Canon users review proper genuine Nikon equipment 🤣🤣🤣👍

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for speaking about BH. They have really helped with affordable resale items. 🥰

What is your name on Facebook can’t find you

90 seconds just to learn what lens the video's about. Really? Jeez. A micro lens... okay.

Great lens but I guess it doesn't date the F versions ( nikon 105, tokina 100, sigma 105 or tamron 90 ).. I hear alot about sharpness ( which is an absolutely subjective term ) and that's the least worth quality to consider when buying a lens IMHO.. I guess manufacturers have ways of creating this insatiable desire to acquire stuff so they sell and make money..

This is the first time I’ve seen any of your videos. I like your style. You’re very personable.

Got one preordered! Cannot wait for it to arrive
