Used Nikon 105mm f/1.8 Ai-S

The Nikon 105mm f/1.8 Ai-S is a macro lens introduced on the market since 1984, before going out of production in 1990. As regards its optical characteristics, it has a maximum aperture of f/1.8. The diaphragm itself is made up of 7 blades that make it up. Its optical scheme, however, is based on 10 elements in 9 groups. Then, the minimum focusing distance is 0.24 meters and its reproduction ratio is 0.50x. Moving on to its features, the Nikon 105mm f/1.8 Ai-S does not have automatic focus, so you will have to focus manually. At first it may seem uncomfortable, because perhaps you are not used to it, but it will be enough to practice a little. the lens in question does not even have a stabilizer, so you will need to be careful when shooting at moving or very distant subjects. The shots are very pleasant to see: the subjects or objects in question are always very sharp, with natural light and therefore not too saturated. Several close-ups were taken and the result was decidedly excellent. A note of merit must also be given to the construction material. Its metal coating is made in such a way as to resist unfavorable climatic conditions, or humid places, which usually cause the object to deteriorate. The Nikon 105mm f/1.8 Ai-S is the right lens to enter the world of photography. The weight is around 510 g. It's not very light, but not excessively heavy either. Although it is not too recent, it is an excellent springboard for beginners.
