The 105 micro has the right focal length but 85 f/1.4, 105 f/2 DC and 135 f/2 DC are Nikon's best portrait lenses.


Look out for possible refresh with AF-S and VR. Nikon AF Micro 200mm f/4D IF-ED also discontinued? | Nikon Rumors
I heard rumors of a rumor that it was going to be discontinued.... Thanks for the head's up! Stay tuned!!
