When I get serious using tri-pod with focusing rail. You set it to manual focus mode shut the VR off. Hit the limit switch to full. Set the lens to 1:1 reproduction Ratio. Your ready to rock-n-roll. It's also one of nikons best portrait lens also. I'm very happy with it. Hope this helps.

I'm on board with Mr. Greer, here. I've got the same Nikkor 105 VR. I love it. I took the shot below using AF (AF-C, 9-point). But it also affords you the opportunity to shoot manual. I was actually thinking about moving to the 200mm Micro, but the only advantage I can see is the longer working distance. Someone on the "For Sale" forum is selling a 105 Micro for $450. Smokin' deal. I paid $900 for mine. Check it out!
