Testing the Nikkor AF-S 105 mm f/1.4E ED was a real pleasure. It combines interesting parameters, exceedingly sharp optics hidden in a casing of good quality and accurate autofocus. I admit that for me personally the Nikkor was a huge joy to use. If you decide to purchase the lens you won’t regret it – that’s my opinion. Highly recommended!
