Attaches perfectly to the Kindle binder & stays attached after you close it! I use it quite often. It has 2 levels of lighting & easily adjusts to how YOU like it!

I have bought this disk as a backup disk. it is fast reliable but its backup software need more improvment

Came nicely packed in an over-sized double box/ Other than that the knife is awesome. Super sharp, even after using it on different items.

The grip on this knife is second to none when wet, and is a nice big size. If possible will get a smaller version of this too.

Product Description:

The Nikon 2160 105mm f2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens is the world's first macro lens featuring Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor and Vibration Reduction. Designed for close-up and macro photography, this camera lens is versatile enough for virtually any photographic situation.

This Nikon 105 millimeter lens features Nikon's new VR II vibration reduction technology, which allows photographers to shoot hand-held shots at up to four shutter speeds slower than would otherwise be possible, providing sharper images in general and in close-up photography. This lens also features a high-resolution and high optical performance, with a Nano-Crystal coat and ED glass elements that enhance overall image quality by further reducing flare and chromatic aberrations, and contributing to improved color, contrast and clarity. Constructed with an f2.8 lens, this unit includes an internal focus, which provides fast and quiet auto-focusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining the subject's working distance through the focus range. This lens has a non-rotating front design that is convenient for use with circular polarizing filters and the R1C1 wireless close-up Speedlight system. Specifically engineered for both Nikon digital and 35mm SLR cameras, the Nikon ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor lens helps ensure high quality and high performance for all photographers, from amateurs to professionals, and includes front and rear lens caps, an HB-38 bayonet lens hood, and a CL-1020 flexible lens pouch. The 2160 weighs 27.9 ounces and measures 3.3 x 4.5 inches (diameter x depth).

What's in the Box
The 105mm f2.8 ED-IF AF-S VR lens, 62mm snap-on front lens cap (LC-62), rear lens cap (LF-1), bayonet hood (HB-38), and flexible lens pouch (CL-1020).
The AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED brings the benefits of vibration reduction (VR) to the domain of Macro photography. It offers high-resolution, high-optical performance for both digital and 35mm film format SLR cameras. This lens incorporates Nikon's second-generation vibration reduction system (VR II) that allows flexible hand-held shooting by stabilizing the image to the equivalent stability of a shutter speed that is 4 stops faster when compared with a conventional lens. The SWM (Silent Wave Motor) and IF (Internal Focusing) ensure quiet autofocusing with quick and convenient switching between autofocus and manual operation. Optical performance is enhanced by an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that minimizes chromatic aberration, and Nano Crystal Coat which drastically reduces flare, enabling finely defined, clear images.

Hobby
11/19/2008
I have a Nikon D80. I like to take close-ups of flowers and textured objects of interest. This new lens gives me full scale of the object and outstanding clarity. The anti-shake feature is great for hand-held. Being able to switch from auto-focus to manual quickly and easily is a big plus.
Love it.

Dragon Fly
11/18/2008
To test this lens, I took a picture of a 1 inch dragonfly from 12 inches away. What amazed me was the ability to either focus on the face, legs or feet. The AF was really fast. I also printed to picture out large enough so the dragonfly was 8 times it's size. I could find no distortion. Usually with my nikon lens, I will take 10 pictures and 9 would come out good. This lens was 10 out of 10. It was also fast enough to take a picture of a bird in mid flight and there was no blurryness on the wings. I highly recomend this lens for taking pictures of small creatures.

The Best Nikon lens I'd ever had
11/2/2008
This is no doubt the best lens for macro or close up medical photographs.
Highly recommended for any serious medical professionals who need excellent documentation of close up facial shots.

Better than Expected
10/30/2008
After seeing so many great close-ups, I got this macro lens because I wanted to take some too. Macro work has a learning curve, which I'm only starting to master.

I had read about focus breathing issues with this lens, but have found it to be no issue at all for me. Getting a subject still enough and enough depth of field are far more challenging for me.

As a bonus, I find that this lens does great as a medium distance portrait lens, where the VR and f/2.8 aperture really help. This lens is weakest at distance, where sharpness can be a little off, at least in my sample of this lens.

Overall, the macro works great, and the medium distance capabilities are a pleasant bonus to this great lens.
