Overview

The Nikon AF Nikkor 105mm f/2D DC is a specialized portrait lens with a unique Defocus Control mechanism for adjusting bokeh. It is exceptionally sharp, often surpassing the 105mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor, and offers superior bokeh control. Build quality is high, with a metal barrel and metal hood, though the AF/MF ring switch is prone to breakage. It suits portrait photographers who value adjustable bokeh and sharpness, but not those needing macro capability or autofocus on Z cameras.
