Nikon AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor 85mm f/3.5G ED VR - Nikon F Mount

The AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor 85mm f/3.5G ED VR is a dedicated macro lens designed for Nikon's APS-C (DX) format DSLRs. It offers a 1:1 reproduction ratio, allowing for life-size close-up photography. The inclusion of Vibration Reduction (VR) helps stabilise the image when shooting handheld at high magnifications, while the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures quiet and precise autofocus. Prospective owners should test the VR system to ensure it engages and disengages silently without jumping. SDS verifies the autofocus performance across the full range, from infinity to the minimum focus distance, to check for any hunting or mechanical lag. The lens barrel is mostly plastic, so the mount and filter threads are inspected for impact damage or cross-threading.
