I've heard several reports that the lens is longer than the designated 105mm. Anyone have a 135mm they could compare to see?

I don't know why they would, but I've seen it in other lenses before. The formula=the focal length but in practice things change.

I threw my old Nikon 105 AI-S to compare. They were identical.

Just a couple of head shots from the camera store today. Artificial lights. Window light for the fill. I don't have kids, so this is what I got at the store as I was waiting for the traffic to ease. Not as cool as Dj R, but ......

Man, these samples look good. Is there anything to Angry Photographer's belly aching about micro contrast? by the 105 DC and 105 1.4E comparisons, contrast looked about the same to me, I didn't see this lack of micro contrast, but i'm a noob.

So.... Are any of you planning on buying a UV filter for the 105? I was thinking of buying the Zeiss T* filter for mine. $135 at B&H. Just a curious question.

yes but I use a budget filter that is known to beat the expensive ones
http://www.2filter.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/Marumi_Super_DHG_Circular_Polarizers.html

but then I get them on eBay, authentic for around half the price

DUDE WOW! These are the shots I was looking for. You and Nathan have the best examples so far.

Those who say the 200/2 doesn't render images close to 105E, are wrong.

This lens is definitely a mini chubmeister! The background is spectacular!


Someone has to have both and can do some comparison shots....

beast of a lens
I think it may have that "it" factor
toddlers don't stop moving, so not a good example of sharpness.
but never the less...


Agreed, this is quite nice. Rendering here feels like a nice cross between the 58 and 200.

Can't afford it now... So until then, I'll start a thread bashing the lack of acuity, microcontrast and rendering of this plasticky overpriced lens *goes back to his good old chubby & 58 1.4*

I just ordered the Zeiss T* 82mm UV filter! Excellent quality, I want to keep that front element safe. I almost hit the front of the lens on a sharp desk corner today at precision camera. Got mine at B&H. UV filters used to never be my thing. I never wanted to use them until I got my Zeiss Milvus 50 & 85, now this 105.

I don't have any filters on any of my lenses. I hate filters...

(don't ever buy my lenses, folks)
