Test: Einzeltest: Nikkor AF 105mm f/2 D DC Review / Test Report
Zitat: The DC-Nikkor AF 105mm f/2 D is a very high quality, versatile tele lens. The resolution figures are excellent when using the Nikkor as a conventional lens. The Defocus Control (DC) feature gives you superior control over background and foreground blur - some portrait and still-life photographers will certainly desire such a detailed controlled over the bokeh (the out-of-focus blur) although it requires quite a bit of experience to master it. Vignetting, distortions and lateral CAs are very low and nothing to worry about in the field. The build quality of the lens is excellent whereas the AF (relying on the slotted drive screw) is a bit dated by now. The DC-Nikkor has one major drawback - its price tag. At around 1000 €/US$ it costs about as much as the Nikkor AF 85mm f/1.4 or the new Zeiss ZF 85mm f/1.4 - two other excellent but even faster "portrait" lenses.
