I have several macro lenses including the AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm f/4D IF-ED. What's great about that lens is its working distance and oh, my gosh image quality although autofocus is a bit slow.

Even better, it may also save your life should you ever be out in the rugged area shooting wildflowers and attacked by a bear for you can use the lens as a club to beat it into submission, wipe the blood off it, and continue shooting the wildflowers. You can thank me later..!


Well said!

Nikkor 105mm Micro, f/2.8. It is an excellent lens.

I have the same feeling about my 70-180mm Micro Nikkor. I have taped it to a spare axe handle and used to to beat moose and other critters when necessary.

Yeah, I see that it's a VR not IS.
