That 105mm looks rather big.

[Erik Lund]

Yes they are sort of large, but do follow the trend of the S line lenses for Nikon Z.


Interesting MC naming and the 50 is not S line apparently,,,

[Birna Rørslett]

Bring them on -- we have been waiting  long time for these. Hopefully, Nikon will deliver something far superior to the AFS 105/2.8 Micro-Nikkor VR!!

[richardHaw]

i suppose they have to be so long in order to accommodate the LONG helicoids

[richardHaw]

pricing is out by the way

[Jack Dahlgren]

pricing is out by the way

is it priced by the cc?

[richardHaw]

is it priced by the cc?

not sure. around $1,000 for the 105 and $700 for the other one

[Roland Vink]

MC = Micro?

The 105 looks like it has inner focusing. It looks to be about the same size as the AFS 105 micro with FTZ adaptor attached.
On the 50 there is a gap around the front ring which suggests it extends when focusing close.

[ianwatson]

That price would be reasonable. I am assembling a kit for a Z6 and need a telephoto partner for the 35mm. The choice is between the 85mm and this 105mm. The slight extra reach would be nice, as would the ability to focus more closely. Size is a concern, however. I will know if it is too big when I see it 

[richardHaw]

the 50/2.8 better be IF since the older 60/2.8G is

[richardHaw]

well, the press release mentions that the 50/2.8 will have informative display like reproduction ratio etc but there are no LCD's...where will they be shown? in-cam? if not then it's at the barrel...no IF, booooo (not cheap)

the photos look beautiful (of course, its a promotion)

damn, so many elements and the designs are unrecognizable

the 50/2.8 @ f/22 looks stunning but i am interested to see if the 105/2.8 is any better since the last version sucks...definitely 2-stops behind the AFD when it came to diffraction. i will never use that beyond f/11

[richardHaw]

well, this is certainly less than ideal... but if that helps with the image quality then so be it, i guess?

Reminds me of the ugly duckling; the first AF Micro 55mm Trumpet version     
Looks like it does have an "informatory display"
