Nikon 105mm D 2.0 DC

The Prince of Bokeh

The Nikon 105 DC is among the sharpest lenses ever made, and it’s built pro-tough out of metal in Japan

This 105mm f/2 DC is as sharp, and often sharper than Nikon’s 105mm f/2.8 AF-D MICRO-NIKKOR, and this DC lens has the advantage of adjustable and superior bokeh.

The built-in metal hood is superb: it locks in position by screwing-down. Even without the hood extended, the glass is well recessed into the barrel.

You have to move a ring to get to manual focus mode, and once you do, manual focus is fantastic.
