Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro Nikkor

I was using a Nikon D7000 when I first got the lens and could not have been more satisfied with the images it produced. I now own a Nikon D600 and the lens continues to produce simply indescribably beautiful images. I've used it for a couple of ad-hoc family portrait shots but the clarity is so intense that I have to soften the images in Lightroom or they can reveal every not-so-spiffy blemish and wrinkle.

Before I got used to the autofocus (nothing scientific here) I struggled some with hunting but I gradually negotiated how it "does it's thing" and it is no longer a problem.

I use it almost exclusively for insect shots anyway. Example here --> http://flic.kr/p/dpkJjr
