I saw the 105mm discussion in another thread and thought it might be worth starting a new thread only for 105mm lens pics. Here are a couple from a Hermagis Hellor Anastigmat 10.5cm f4.5 adapted to LTM mounted on a Sony A7RII

OK, so here some 105mm shots of mine...

When I bought my Nikon 105 in Germany in the 'Seventies, the salesman said, "We call this the Head Hunter." I have always thought of it in this manner, and it is refreshing to see a wonderful batch of 105 images, with not one a Head Hunter!

I have used the 105VR lens for a fair amount of my underwater photography. This shot is one of my more memorable successful ones with this lens. Shot a while back with a D2X. I saw this same exact fish on two dives, each on a different day, to the same dive site so had ample opportunity. I shot about 1/2 in MF and about 1/2 in AF - too bad the exif data does not indicate which. Here is one of the better keepers. This is a fish species that is only found in Hawaii.

OK I figured it out - took a sceenshot off my webpage, maybe not as good looking. Loss of image title, etc. as well.

A question for the thread: How many 105 lenses does one need?
-
In my case two, the Micro f/4.0 and the pre ai f/2.5.
One example from my D1, 1/1000 sec ISO 200, probably f/2.8? Taken just below the summit of Old Man of Coniston, blowing a gale, we had just abandoned the attempt to the top. The wind was so strong I couldn't stand up, I lay flat on my stomach with elbows dug into ground trying to keep the D1 still. It took several attempts to get a steady shot of the outcrop.
The second taken at the explorers garden Pitlochry, PH16 5DR. D3, 1/640 Sec f/5.6, ISO 1600.
-
There are some wonderful images here, but I have a question.
What made Nikon and the other companies choose such a specific focal length as 105mm?
It is a standard lens focal length for the 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" (6 x 9 cm) format. Example lens: 105mm Xenar
-
Optical considerations while optimizing lens design I guess...
This is my best guess also...at least for the very first 105mm from the rangefinder times, considering the short supply and great expense of computing power in those days.
If their initial calculations had hit 110mm as an unusually optimized design spec, they might have all been One-Tens for all these years!
It is equally possible in my mind that as Nikon's success mounted over the years, that the company seized upon the 'One-O-Five' as a symbol of corporate identity in the marketplace, and thereafter deliberately designed all of its 100mm-class lenses to have this identifying characteristic.
-
It was more about lens speed according to this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photographic_lens_design
The first 105mm lens may have been the Ernemann Ernostar 10.5cm f/1.8 of 1924.
We are seeing this speed seeking tradition continue in lenses like the recent 105mm f/1.4 lenses that happen to be quite sharp as well.
-
First is the 105 f/2.5 ais on my D200 hand held. Extremely hard to focus! Then we see the 105 f/2.8 AF Micro at work.

What made Nikon and the other companies choose such a specific focal length as 105mm?
With 8.5cm (85mm) and 13.5cm (135mm) lenses already in their rangefinder lineup, The Nikkor-P 10.5cm (105mm) was a natural fit between the two, 100mm would have been a bit close to 85mm. The same focal lengths then translated to the F mount and have continued ever since...
-
Or about half the field of view of the ubiquitous 50mm "standard" lens of the era?
-
The f1.8 version of the 105mm never caught on like the f/2.5 models. Bigger and heavier than its less wide-eyed sibling, but still an excellent performer.

A question for the thread: How many 105 lenses does one need?
This must be a trick question.
-
One needs as many 105mm lenses as necessary :D
For me, that is a pretty substantial number :D
Most of them are 105/2.5 versions (S- and F-mount), plus various f/2.8 and f/4 Micro-Nikkors, Bellows-Nikkors, the tiny 10.5cm f/4 T, the mighty 105/1.4 AFS, and of course the 105/4.5 UV-Nikkors.

A question for the thread: How many 105 lenses does one need?
It's a great focal lenght and serves more purposes. I use now the Nikkors 1.8 Ai-S, 2.0 DC, 2.5 Sonnar and Gauss versions, Micro 2.8 Ai-S and AF-D and 4.0 Ai-S (and the 100mm Rodenstock Heligon f/1.6 and Carl Zeiss Visionar f/1.6 come close)
This is with the Sonnar version (from 1969)
-
Or about half the field of view of the ubiquitous 50mm "standard" lens of the era?
Most "standard" lenses for 35mm format are (or were) actually 51.6mm, so doubling will give 103mm, which is very close to 105mm ...
-
A great sequence here Andrew - I like the first and last - "the aerials".

In all these posts so far I think that I only saw one image with my favorite 105, so I thought that I would contribute some from my 105/4 micro-nikkor.
First is a drop of cedar oil being forced from the tree in the hot Texas sun. Then a grasshopper trying to hitch a ride on my car windshield and final a Texas wildflower along the roadside. Except for the grasshopper at f5.6, the rest at f4 on either D600 or D610:

I was quite fond of the 105/2.8 AF in its time, despite the horrible AF operation and the A/M shift collar that could break and split the lens into two halves. These issues were solved permanently by epoxy glue and taping the collar with sturdy 'hockey stick' tape (same kind used for cycles).

Barnacles. Mercilessly cutting through flesh if you step on them.

The UV-Nikkor 105/4.5 can also do landscapes in a pinch :D
This is the entrance view of the Dørålen valley in the mountain heart of Southern Norway. A motif very well known to any die-hard Norwegian nature photographer, by the way,. However they might not see it in this 'light'.

Thanks Frank :-) All best for 2019 to you and everyone in this unique forum.
Across all the 105 Nikkors, it is remarkable how the designs have endured. ie that of the 105 f2.5 upgraded in the late 1970s. Both designs by Yoshiyuki Shimizu
https://imaging.nikon.com/history/story/0005/index.htm (https://imaging.nikon.com/history/story/0005/index.htm)
and the 105 f1.8AIS put out by Teru yoshi Tsunashima persisted until the 105 f2 DC was released.

I only had the 105/2.8 Micro AFS for about 3 months, before I replaced it with the superior 125 Vogtländer 125 mm f/2.5 APO-Lanthar. The only 105 Nikkor I found lacklustre in its performance, by the way.
This is one of the few remaining 105 VR images.

Wow, some really super images everyone.
Nothing like what I shoot but may inspire me to leave my box ;)

Let the thread encompass all versions of the 105 lenses whether Nikkor or third-party....
Here are two examples of the AFS 105/1.4 E on the D500. that combination is surprisingly well handling and if one brings the "Erik" extension tube, can handle almost anything thrown at it.

Happy New Year, Klaus. I often focus AFS Optics manually because it is faster that way. That is why a calibrated good focussing screen is so important to me. Every prime lens has its special character, AF or MF. Jan Anne even uses his 1.2/55 Nikkor with an AF adapter on his Sony! The MF/AF border seems to be quite soft nowadays. Very interesting thread.
I think about opening a similar thread for 85mm...

The D500 has a special way to handle colors quite differently than the D850. I love her for this. The tonality of woman carrying baby shows it very well.

(https://otoien.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-3/p2151102029.jpg)
Even using flats could not get rid of the ghost, and stars unfortunately shows a considerable amount of purple fringing even at f/3.2, although there is nothing to complain about with respect to coma/astigmatism in the corners. So I will probably avoid this lens for this kind of deep space imaging where strong stretching is involved.
-
Perhaps the UV-nikkor 105 mm f/4.5 would be better for that purpose, Øivind?
UV-Nikkor 105 and Df.
-
Lest it being forgotten: the 105mm f/2 Nikkor DC.
-
Perhaps the UV-nikkor 105 mm f/4.5 would be better for that purpose, Øivind?
UV-Nikkor 105 and Df.
That fresh looking image certainly looks like it comes from a habitable planet. Mind you though that astro imaging stacks like the one I presented above involves extreme stretching to bring out the dark parts. That ghost was not visible in the unprocessed individual frames. Might have come from a light pollution source. The purple fringing is another matter though that many lenses have in common, but presumably not the UV nikkor, nor the 300 PF.
Edit: On second thought is there could have been some slight buildup of tiny ice crystals on the front element (no filter used) that has created the ghost.

Interesting conversation,
He was German and spoke fluent Hindi so our conversation was a mix of my bad German , a bit of my even worse Hindi, some English, a few bits of Spanish, French and Italian. We did just fine ;) . He had been in Varanasi for a few years. I told a German Tourist/Photographer (photo posted earlier) about him and later saw them in deep, animated conversation. The last couple of trips I took, Df, 58 1.4, DC105 f2D and 35 f2D along with Sony a7xx and Olympus Pen F. This was DC105 at f2.5 set to 0 and AF. Just what I shoot when traveling . Minimal PP. Looks as if I will have to shoot the lens MF , as Birna recommends, when I get the Z6 :) . Will keep Df until I've worked out the Z6 ;)

Beautiful composition of a strong character. Timing and pose works well too. I´ll like to spoke to him :)

John, you don´t make it easy for me with all those images from the D3S. Your cat keeps showing a strong personality and a...inclination to pose? Looks so relax. Or it is your patience? Love the framing colors.

I can recommend the D3s, quick AF, Great high ISO performance, fast *but a bit heavy* with high class NEF's that contain lots of post-processing options. Nothing obsolete about this camera.

I haven't used the old 105 much, but not too long ago got my wife's old 105/2.8D back from the fungus doctor, and find it not bad for bug chasing. The focus is a little slow, but it works. Still pretty early here for interesting flowers and insects. At least there are dandelions.
On the way back I ran into a robin, fiercely guarding her nest. Every time I come by she swears at me in angry fluent tweets.

Hello, everyone! I apologize for not posting since December. I haven't really visited the site much all year until a week ago. I saw this fun post, and I decided there was no better way to demonstrate my repentance by posting this photograph with the 105mm f/2.5 AI that I bought and had chipped a couple years ago. The first camera and lens I bought were an FM2 with a 105 f/2.5 AI-s. I loved the camera and especially the lens. I unwisely sold the lens about 12 years ago, but now I have a nice chipped version. I shot this on a D850, but I have since switched to a Z7, which is so much easier use manual focus, in my opinion. My preferred technique now is to set the AF-ON button to ZOOM (I have been using the lowest zoom setting). Since I am used to using AF-ON to focus anyway, I hit that and it zooms in so I can see and focus peaking kicks in, too. Personally, I also find it much easier to focus in low light with the electronic viewfinder, too. Live View works as well, but I really prefer the viewfinder when I can use it: no competition with sun glare, my aging eyes can focus at infinity, and it is easier to keep the camera stable pressed against my face.
The Z7 makes this lens stabilized, too. Can't beat that.
So, while I took this with the D850, I am looking forward to doing a lot more manual focus with it and other lenses on the Z7. (I just got a Z-mount Lomography Petzval 55mm f/1.7 Mk II...now that's an interesting lens I will post more about soon...)
These are blooming palo verde trees in my neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona, from two and a half years ago. Every spring they go crazy and yellow blossoms are everywhere. (They are native, by the way.)

The Carl Zeiss S-Orthoplanar105mm f/5.6 is not an APO lens, so it has some chromatic aberration. So does the original Noct Nikkor 58mm, which this lens reminds me of. And that is because it is clear that this lens has a special character that few lenses have, IMO. I don’t care for the CA, and this is not the sharpest lens either, although some say it is, but I can see myself using it just for its character. I just received copy my copy and am learning how to best use it, so my view on all this may change in time.

Better than expected, up there with the best of fine lenses. I use it all the time and the automatic focus allows me to focus stack with the lens and the Z7 II. Here is an example of that lens.

This is a nice photograph. Does a 105mm lens mounted on a DX format camera (D200) constitute a 105mm? Arguably, what is meant by 105mm is 23% angle of view.
-
The lens is ignorant of the camera to which it is mounted. Thus it continues to have the properties of its inherent optical features.
On an 8x10" camera, 105mm is a wide-angle lens.

Birna, you should say "On an 8x10" camera, 105mm is an ultra-ultra wide angle lens !"
I don't know any 105mm that covers 8x10", only Nikon Nikkor 120 SW or equivalent older Schneider or Rodenstock lenses cover (just) 8x10"... and these lenses are already 20mm or 18mm (35mm equivalent) !
So I think a 105mm for 8x10" is a dream lens but not yet (and probably never) available in real world !
-
You are right and I stand corrected. Never used anything wider than 120mm on my 8x10" :) thus a slip of tongue or mix-up in the memory banks. The latter is likely as there are now many many moons since last time I used one of those behemoths. Most of the time I employed the Arca-Swiss in a 4x5" configuration. The 65mm f/4 Nikkor had trouble covering the 4x5" format if movements were used, but the 90mm Rodenstock did just fine.
However, the principle remains. The lens has inherent properties not influenced by the camera it is attached to.
-

Absolutely...however, I hazard to guess that most participants in the Nikon Gear forum anticipate the thread "Show your 105 images" anticipate photos obtained with 105 Nikkors which, as we appreciate, include many well-loved variants applicable predominantly to full frame and DX formats, and also to smaller formats via adopters. And indeed, most photos presented within the thread hone closely to this expectation: a portrait-length 23 degree rendering, but also well suited to macro photography (reference Michael's contribution of a few days ago), and general use.
In any case, I think this is a non-issue...Personally, I would interested to see, in this thread, images taken by near-105mm lenses such as contemporary macro lenses of other manufacturers...in particular, either of the two Zeiss 100mm F2.0s.

I happened to visit https://www.glennview.com/index.htm in searching for a Cambo part. I noted this photo on the top of the home page and thought of this thread. The 90mm Goerz Hypergon will cover 8X10 (and according to the link 11X14). I've done business with Glenn Evans in the past and have no reason to doubt that the photo was made as he states.
Bob
-
You're right, Bob, didn't know that the old Hypergon was such a unique, modern lens !
I had a look and found even a 75mm Goerz Hypergon and the author says: "One of the greatest and coolest lenses ever made, It’s the widest angle lens ever made that covers 8×10 with movements." !

I did some very careful test on three 105/2.5 Nikkors, an AI(ed) Nikkor P*C, AI and AIS. The sharpest image at 2 meters was at f/5.6. The creamiest bokeh and greatest blur would be at a portrait distance and naturally at f/2.8. The lens was purpose designed this way according to the article linked above. For the sharpest images at any distance I would avoid stopping down blow f/8.0.

Dave, did you see much difference between the three versions? (Sample variation not withstanding.)

Dave, did you see much difference between the three versions? (Sample variation not withstanding.)
It turned out that the AIS was the best and the AI(ed) N*P was least but the difference was not pronounced. I focused with a DW-2 (6x)finder. The exposure was made with flash with the camera set to B and locked up. I allowed the tripod to settle for a full minute. The film was Kodak Tech Pan developed as a continuous tone film. I viewed the results at 80x (an early form of pixel peeping). I viewed both center and edge. I did everything I knew to test only the lens and not the camera also.
If I had to guess why the AIS was best it might be better contrast due to the newest coating. Anyway sample variation was not pronounced. I kept the AIS and sold the others. I didn't want to sell the AI but needed to pay a debt. I should have paid over a period of months since I knew the performance of the AI.
I recommend using a Nikon HS-8 or HS-14 (late versions) rather than the built in hoods for both the 105/2.5(s) and later 135/2.8(s). If the sun is included in the extreme corner of the image I got a single small green ghost. This might have been with the 105/2.5 AIS or 135/2.8 AIS or both.
My sharpest lenses were a 50/1.8 AI and 55/2.8 AIS.

Thanks.
It turned out that the AIS was the best and the AI(ed) N*P was least but the difference was not pronounced. I focused with a DW-2 (6x)finder. The exposure was made with flash with the camera set to B and locked up. I allowed the tripod to settle for a full minute. The film was Kodak Tech Pan developed as a continuous tone film. I viewed the results at 80x (an early form of pixel peeping). I viewed both center and edge. I did everything I knew to test only the lens and not the camera also.
If I had to guess why the AIS was best it might be better contrast due to the newest coating. Anyway sample variation was not pronounced. I kept the AIS and sold the others.

Quite impressive. So is its price level, by the way.

Yes, but in this case, we get what we pay for, IMO.

Indeed, and thanks for sharing.

My photography seldom requires anything longer than a 50mm, however, I found a nice 105/2.5 Nikkor-P-C online. It came yesterday evening and I only shot the one photo. It's enough for me to see that I will like this lens.

Here are two stacked 105mm lenses, one hand-stacked, the APO El Nikkor 105mm f/5.6 and another stacked by Nikon Z7II with the new Z 105 Macro S f/2.8. I did not try to retouch them much, but just wanted to roughly see how they compare.
The APO El Nikkon 105 is one of the finest lenses I own. And I feel the new Z 105 Macro S lens is also very good and a lot less expensive and it has autofocus.
