It is an extremely good lens. Your can use it for portraits, close up and macro. Macro and close ups consider using a flash. Good luck.

I use this lens weekly, as do several other macro-photographers on the Hog. I invite you to drop by the True Macro-Photography Forum at http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-102-1.html The Macro Forum is the section to ask your questions about macro equipment and macro technique.

I have owned my Nikon 105 2.8MM lens since 2007, and I"ve taken many wonderful macro shots with it, I would advise you to get the Nikon 1.4 Tele converter to go with that lens, you wont have to get as close to a subject, and you will only lose 1 stop of light, and get spectacular results, check out this photo, I took useing this combo......
This is one of my favorite shots of a dragon fly, the quality of the Nikon 105 2.8 Macro and the Nikon Tele 1.4 truly will give you wonderful results

beautiful shot! will consider....do you think the 2x would be to much? also i put a 36mm macro tube on yesterday and able to get in very close, so do you subtract the 36mm from the 105mm to get an evective focus of 69mm? i think i stated that right

I own the 2X tele which I use primarly for my Nikon 70-200MM 2.8 Zoom, to give me more reach, the 2X tele gives me 400MM, but with the loss of 2 F stops of light, I"m waiting for the new Nikon 1.4 tele version 3 whiich goes on sale on the 28th of this month,and you will only lose 1 F stop of light, which in my opinion is a pretty good trade off.... I truly believe, its the right tele for Macro shots, I previously owned the version 2 which I sold, as version 3 is way better, look for it either on Amazon or B &H photo..........

I"ve never used extension tubes, but I believe you are correct, besides, once you get your Nikon Tele, you can put those extension tubes, away for good.....
