Strength:
Ligero, compacto funciona genial en todos los diafragmas, es muy fuerte, muy interesante en paisaje y retrato
Weakness:
que es manual, y requiere mayor atención con la cámara He utilizado este objetivo y tiene una resolución bestial, tanto de cerca como de lejos paisaje, es muy fuerte incluso a F/16. según dicen es el único objetivo que funciona igual de bien en todos los diafragmas, no tiene picos como otros objetivos Nikon que su punto más dulce de resolución suele ser entre diafragma 4 y 8, éste va bien en todos Similar Products Used: Nikon 85 f1.8 Sigma 85 f1.4 |

Strength:
Performance, optically and mechanically. Price (2014). Can be easily adapted for use on other brand DSLR's.
Weakness:
Manual focus I was shooting with a Nikon F3 when I bought my lens and it produced flawless images on film. Now I shoot with full frame Nikon DSLR's, and the lens performance is even better. My only complaint is I wish my DSLR had a split image focusing screen. It's a little soft in the corners at f2.5-4 which is perfect for portraits and once the lens is stopped down to f5.6-8 it is crisp corner to corner. My lens is very flair resistant. There are several versions of the 105/2.5 out there, the latest AIS version is the best, having improved optics and a built in lens shade. It also has a larger rear element than the AI and earlier versions, which seems to make a difference with full frame sensors. On DSLR's with aps-c or DX sensors your using the "sweet spot" all the time and it's difficult to get a bad image. The lens is small, compact and well built.

Strength:
Great optical performance, a perfect blend of colour rendition, smoothness and sharpness.
Weakness:
Best when fit on a proper camera body, which means a Nikon film camera or a pro level Nikon DSLR (due to need of aperture ring coupling) with adequate focousing screen. I own an AI-S sample since 1996 and use it on Nikon FM-2n and F3.

Strength:
smooth bokeh, good contrast even wide open, sharp even wide open, light and compact, exceptional build quality,
Weakness:
would be better on full frames and inconsistent exposure with my 7D (don't know about other canons). except for those none really i normally don't write reviews but i thought it might help some people out there. I shoot canon and have the nikkor 50 1.2 and 105 f2.5 mounted on my 7D with adapters. A word of warning: these lenses are easier to shoot with on nikon bodies (obviously) as they meter properly on pro bodies and high end entry DSLRs like d300s, d7000 etc. Exposure on my canon is at times inconsistent no matter what mode (aperture or manual) i am shooting in.

Strength:
Great bokeh. Wonderful focal length on D300. Sharp. Compact with built in shade.
Weakness:
Auto focus can be a problem at times things are moving fast. A very nice lens for people and for shooting flower and garden pics. Colors are good and the bokeh is really nice. No problem shooting wide open. Probably the best Ais lens that I have used. Customer Service Not needed. Similar Products Used: 105 mm F2 DC

Strength:
Light wieght , easy to focus,best bokeh,tac sharpe,built like a tank,built-in lens hood.
Weakness:
None at all I can think of
This lens came in about 4 versions from pre-AI to AIS . The very earliest versions had a diferent set of elements and groups. The real great lenses came around the late sixties and early 70s but they didn't all perform the same as the coatings were being improved over the years. That was about the only thing that was changed but it was a big one reducing ghosting and flare. To get the really best one with all the latest refinements you should get the one with no numbers or markings on the lens and the large rear glass and only buy the AIS version and you will indeed have a Real Nikon Treasure and absolutely Stunning pictures of the ultimate quality.

Strength:
sharp,
Weakness:
None that I know of. Great Lens. Not only is does this lens take razor sharp picture with ery nice bokeh, it is extremely bautiful and well made. The focusing ring is silky smooth, the glass is coated, it is hefty but not heavy, all metal, and the range of aperture f2.5 - f32 is a photographers dream.

Strength:
- nice bokeh.
Weakness:
NO AUTO FOCUS. this may be a deal killer for some esp. older shooters. But if your eyes are still fairly good and you dont mind shooting an extra frame or two to CYA for focus, then its a fair exchange for the price.
[I own the older version, the one without the built-in hood. I use it with D90, D70 + 35mm N8008]

Manual Focus, while not really a weaknesses, in quick situations a person not used to manual focus may have problems using it.
I recived this lens, along with two others when I was given a Nikon F3, and much to my joy I found out that I could actually use these with my D300. I quickly put this lens into use both on my F3 and D300. It proved amazing to work with on the D300.
