The New 85mm f/3.5 VR II micro Nikkor has arrived into stock. This is a new compact and lightweight DX format Macro lens with high quality optics. It’s the perfect choice for exploring the world of close-up photography.

Ideal for those new to macro photography, the AF-S DX MICRO NIKKOR 85MM F/3.5G VR boasts a 1:1 reproduction ratio, allowing photographers to get lifelike close-ups of more intricate textures and details, even down to the fine texture on flower petals or insect wings. On top of this, the VR II system provides both a steady viewfinder image for composition and sharper results at slow shutter speeds or when shooting movie clips.

Beautifully balanced to take anywhere, the Nikon DX format provides a compact and light form factor that balances well with Nikon’s range of DSLRs like the D90 and D5000. With a picture angle equivalent to a focal length of 127.5mm in FX/35mm format, it extends options beyond those offered by standard kit lenses, ideal for portraits or candid photography.

Both the D3s and 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II lens are now available in stock. If you have not been reached from our waiting list, please call to place your order and we should be able to supply you now (while stocks last).

Please note, there is a VAT increase on the 1st of January 2010 and prices are set to increase.
