Re: Nikon 105mm f/1.4E ED Image Thread


The reality is that the 200 F2 should be compared to the 105 F1.4 in the bokeh dept only.

I bought the 105 because I wanted to shoot portraits and melt away the background... without the bulk/weight of the 200 F2.

The 200 has much faster focus and VR which makes it more useful in other areas than the 105 1.4.

I think the best comparison is to the 85 F1.4G which is a fast prime with a similar target audience.

Yes... 2200 is expensive... but the 85G was 1699 on relaeas if I remember correctly. Still sells new for 1600 at B&H.
