So, the other day I picked up a new macro lens, the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 AF-D. I decided to get the old version instead of the newer AF-S VR because I think the old one is a tiny bit sharper edge to edge and it’s roughly half the price. This is a quick snap I took, hand held in our foyer, of Maria (Nikon D3, f/4.5, 1/60, ISO 2000):

Here’s a 100% crop from the center of her eye. It blows me away that you can actually read the “Nikon” on the camera…
