Nikon AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 85mm f/3.5G ED VR Lens Review

Nikon AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 85mm f/3.5G ED VR Verdict

Nikon's latest Micro Nikkor optic strikes a good compromise. It is a lens packed with the latest technology and features, but at a price that is really quite reasonable.

Although the performance of this lens may not be up with the best of Nikon's macro optics, it is certainly good enough to satisfy most photographers, especially if used at optimum apertures with care. Overall it is a good value, lightweight macro companion for DX format camera owners.
