Ok, so I said there would be another post about this Nikkor 105 VR and this is it.  Remember that shot I had of the western fence lizard from the last post?  Well here is another from that day.

I did have great time shooting this little guy.  For some reason he just wanted to chill out on the rock and let me photograph him, so I wasn’t going to turn down the opportunity.  I put the 105 to work shooting away and got a lot of keepers from this guy, but what I like the most was when I was looking at the images in post an blew up this image to 100%.  The result of that is below.

This is a cropped shot at 100% of the image above, with nothing done to it in post.  I could not believe how sharp this lens is, and might I add this was handheld as well.  That’s right folks, no tripods here spooking the little guy away, just me the camera and the VR all working together to make a fun shot.

So my good friend Kevin let me borrow his Nikkor 105 VR Micro lens to try out while mine is on the way from my buddies at Adorama.  So I took it out for spin for a bit and caught so fun stuff.  I have to say I like this lens a lot!!

First up was some Indian Paintbrush the reds were popping.

Some Purple Lupine

And I was even abel to catch a little wildlife.  Here I caught this western fence lizard sunbathing on a rock.  There is another post to follow on this little guy.
