1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
lens. This is a high-performance Micro lens featuring special Vibration
Reduction (VR2) and high-speed Internal Focusing (IF) mechanisms. It also
employs a Silent (S) Wave Motor to drive the focusing mechanism.
■ Major features
•At infinity (∞) to 1/30x reproduction ratio, pictures can be taken at shutter speeds
approx. 4 stops* slower than is possible without using a VR2 lens, thus
expanding the range of usable shutter speed options and making shooting
without a tripod much easier. (*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects
of vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)
•Panning is also possible, as the lens automatically distinguishes panning
from camera shake and vibration reduction works effectively.
•Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the Focus
mode switch.
•Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change
from autofocusing to manual focusing.
•More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a
Nikon camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject
distance information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
•The use of an ED (extra-low dispersion) lens element ensures sharp pictures
virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade diaphragm that
produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus images in front of or
behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
•The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures
that fine, clear images can be reproduced under any shooting conditions,
from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.

•Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts 9.
•With the TC-20E/TC-20EII/TC-20EIII attached, minimum aperture is limited
to within f/90.
•When mounted on Nikon digital SLR (Nikon DX format) cameras, such as
the D300-Series and D7000, the lens’ picture angle becomes 15°20’ and
its 35mm equivalent focal length is approx. 157.5mm.
•If the lens mount rubber gasket 8 is damaged, be sure to visit the nearest
Nikon authorized dealer or service center for repair.
•A total of four Wireless Remote Speedlights SB-R200 can be attached to
the front of the lens.

■ The effects of vibration reduction
•When the subject is from infinity (∞) to approx. 3m (9.8 ft) away (at 1/30x
reproduction ratio), pictures can be taken at shutter speeds approx. 4
stops* slower than is possible without using a VR2 lens. As the
reproduction ratio increases from 1/30x, the effects of vibration reduction
gradually decrease. (*Under Nikon measurement conditions. The effects of
vibration reduction vary depending on individual and shooting conditions.)
■ Setting the vibration reduction ON/OFF switch
1Set the Vibration reduction ON/OFF switch # to [ON].
Note: Be sure to set the switch so that the indicator
aligns with [ON] precisely.
2Vibration is reduced when the shutter release button is
lightly pressed. Because vibration is reduced in the
viewfinder, auto/manual focusing and exact framing of the subject are
made easier.
3To cancel the vibration reduction mode, set the Vibration reduction
ON/OFF switch # to [OFF].

■ Notes on using vibration reduction mode
•Wait until the image in the viewfinder stops vibrating before fully
depressing the shutter release button after you have lightly pressed the
shutter release button.
•If you move the camera in a wide arc when panning, vibration in the
direction of that movement is not affected. For example, if you pan the
camera horizontally, only vibration in the vertical direction is reduced,
making smooth pans much easier.
•Due to the characteristics of the vibration reduction mechanism, the image
in the viewfinder may become slightly blurred after releasing the shutter.
This is not a malfunction.
•Do not turn the camera power OFF or remove the lens from the camera
while the vibration reduction mode is in operation. (Otherwise, the lens
may emit a chattering noise if the camera is shaken. This is not a
malfunction. Turn the camera power ON again to correct this.)
•With cameras featuring a built-in flash, vibration reduction does not
function while the built-in flash is charging.
En
21
•When the lens is mounted on a tripod, set the vibration reduction ON/OFF
switch # to [OFF]. However, set the switch to [ON] when using a tripod
without securing the tripod head, or when using a monopod.
4. Depth of field
The depth-of-field indicators % are engraved beside the distance index line
En
&. At close distances, however, so little is in focus that it may be better to
check the depth of field table (on page 126). If your camera has a depth of
field preview button or lever, use it to check the depth of field in the
viewfinder.
5. Focusing at a predetermined reproduction ratio
The reproduction ratio is the relation between the size of the image recorded
on film and the actual subject size. If, for example, the image on the
focusing screen is one-fifth the actual subject size, the reproduction ratio is
1:5.
To photograph at a predetermined reproduction ratio, use the following
procedure:
1Manually turn the focus ring until the desired reproduction ratio scale $
number is aligned with the distance index line &.
2Aim at the subject, then change your position, moving closer to or farther
away from the subject, until the image in the viewfinder sharpens.
To obtain the appropriate reproduction ratio for each focused distance, see
the table on page 126.
6. Notes on close-up photography and duplication
work
Camera shake
The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED provides such exceptionally
high image magnification that even the slightest movement during shooting
can cause the image to blur. Be sure to mount the camera on a tripod and
use a cable release or remote cord to release the shutter.
At the high reproduction ratios used in close-up shooting, the depth of field
is very shallow. To ensure greater depth of field, stop down the lens, then
carefully position the camera to ensure the most important surface of the
subject is in the same zone of sharp focus.
•Use manual focus when using the close-up lens.
7. Exposure factor
The f-number of a lens indicates brightness of the image formed by the lens
set at “infinity” shooting distance. The higher the reproduction ratio is, the
more the brightness of the image will decrease. The actual brightness of the
image is called the “effective f-number,” and the exposure compensation
value for the change of the effective f-number is called the "exposure
factor.”
8. Effective f-number variation (P. 124)
With this lens, the higher the reproduction ratio is, the more the brightness
of the image on the film (image sensing device) will decrease and the
effective f-number will increase (the amount of light that comes through the
lens’ aperture will decrease). This variation is automatically compensated for
by the camera’s exposure meter, so the user can determine exposure or
operate TTL flash shooting without having to consider the exposure factor.
The f-number displayed in the camera’s LCD panel or viewfinder is the value
automatically compensated.
En
23
9. Setting the aperture
234
Set the aperture on the camera body. When exposure (or shooting) mode is
set at “A” (Aperture Priority auto) or “M” (manual), the camera will control
to maintain the predetermined f-number (up to approx. 1.6 stops) as the
effective f-number varies with shooting distance.
En
10. Using bayonet hood HB-38
■ Attaching the hood
Align the lens hood attachment index () 2
on the hood (either one of the two indexes)
with the lens hood mounting index 4 on the
lens, and turn the lens hood 1 clockwise until
it click stops to secure.
•Make sure that the lens hood mounting index
4 aligns with the lens hood setting index
() 3.
•If the lens hood is not correctly attached,
vignetting can occur.
•To facilitate attachment or removal of the
hood, hold it by its base (around the lens hood attachment index) rather
than its outer edge.
•To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.
■ Detaching the hood
While holding the base of the hood (near the lens hood attachment index)
rather than its outer edge, turn it counterclockwise to detach.
11. Flash pictures using cameras with a built-in flash
To prevent vignetting, do not use a lens hood 1.

metering only). For F6 cameras, compensate by selecting “Other
screen” in Custom Setting “b6: Screen comp.” and setting the EV level
to -2.0 to +2.0 in 0.5 EV steps. When using screens other than type B
or E, “Other screen” must be selected even when the required
compensation value is “0” (no compensation required). For F5
cameras, compensate using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body.
For F4-Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure Compensation
Dial for the focusing screen.
See user’s manual of the camera body for more details.

13. Lens care
•Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove dirt and smudges,
use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol
(alcohol) or lens cleaner. Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer
edge, taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the lens.
•Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this might damage it,
result in a fire, or cause health problems.
•To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is available. A lens hood 1
also helps protect the front of the lens.
•When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front and rear caps.
•When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place
to prevent mold. Also store the lens away from direct sunlight or chemicals
such as camphor or naphthalene.
•Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this will cause it to rust
and malfunction.
•Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To avoid damage,
never leave the lens in an excessively hot place.
