Premium 105mm true macro for Nikon Z with 1:1 reproduction
NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro is Nikon’s mid-telephoto macro designed for the Z mount. It provides true 1:1 magnification with a compact working distance, enabling edge-to-edge sharpness and excellent detail for small subjects like jewelry, flowers, and product photography. Built as part of the premium S-Line, it also delivers smooth micro contrast and a refined bokeh, aided by Nano Crystal and AR coatings. With a multi-focus system and VR, it remains usable in a variety of shooting conditions, from studio tabletop setups to in-field macro work. The 105mm focal length gives a comfortable working distance while maintaining shallow depth of field, differentiating it from shorter macros. It’s well-suited for pros who shoot close-up subjects, micro details, and portraits that require life-size reproduction with exquisite rendering.
