I just ordered the 50mm because I like to do photo walks and travel. The 50mm is the clear choice because its the more versatile. I have the 70-200mm if I need to do portraits.
I didn't decide between the two; I bought them both ... "horses for courses". I went mirrorless to save weight and the 50 does that while allowing me to get closer for more detail in my shots. I shoot flowers and textures, not insects. And, as you noted, when I use my 24-70 f/4, I lack any telephoto capacity. The 105 suits my POV, and gives me macro ability without carrying another lens. Love them both. (The 50mm lives on my z7 II.)
I picked up the 105mm f/2.8 Macro just yesterday. It is surprisingly light compared to the F-mount version, and the VR is outstanding. It focused really quickly in low light and produced a tack-sharp image at 1/25 second handheld, and my hands aren’t as steady as they once were. I am really impressed with this lens!
Guy Yowell, agree with you about the VR. I was pleasantly surprised when I took some night scene videos at my workplace - totally handheld. The combination of the camera’s IBIS and the VR of the lens produced an amazingly steady pan.
I'm just moving from D800 and D810 to a Z8. I do have the 105mm 2.8 EG and always got incredible results with this combination. Going with the 105 MC for sure. I have a 50mm f1.4 sigma so, I'll adapt it to the Z8. The photos are amazing. Thank you for the video! Excellent review.
Nice comparison. I've preordered the 105mm lens, which I chose because, as you say, it allows greater distance from subject and 105mm has always been my preference for portrait work.
The 50 is great for travel and if you don't have to worry about things flying way (like insects). Would have been nice if they could invluded the OLED display on the 50mm but that may have made it larger. I'd say if $300 is significant to use, then get the 50mm, otherwise get the 105mm. It gives you more working distance, the OLED display and VR, all for $300 more. Of course the 105G lens is still a good budget option too (if you guy it used).
Thank you very much for this high quality in-depth review of both. I'm usually a fan of the 50mm focal length; however, for macro, I do prefer the 105mm focal length. I am definitely getting the 105.
I'm going with the 50 for use with some top down photography of watches, vinyl records, album covers etc with a modest overhead rig that doesn't allow me to go too high with the camera. Very good video by the way. I think the most helpful I've seen regarding these two lenses!
Thanks Richard - excellent comparison! I will go for the 105 lens since I will use it also for portraits. Besides, I do have a 24-70 f/2.8 as my primary work horse.
the longer working distance is always great for macro photos! The T-shirt is from my merch store. There should be a link just below my video description :)
Indeed, a great review/comparison of the two lenses. Still, so hard to decide - light and small and the "normal" 50mm focal length, versus excellent quality and a more "portrait"-like focal length… Thanks!
Hello Richard. Spot on review and comparison. I have the older AF-S 105mm and can add that it’s a heavier lens than the MC version especially when attached to a Z body with the FTZ adapter. So, yes I’m glad that I now have the newer lens👍👍
Tremendously helpful video, I'm still undecided between the two. I do feel like the 105 might be the better buy, looking at their differences side by side (VR, lens display & Fn button, dedicated control ring, hood... so much on the 105!). And my use case for macro - definitely insects, flowers, things in nature (vs food, products, etc.). That said, I don't have a 50 prime (believe it or not) and I think the 50 might be a little more versatile in everyday shooting. I don't think I'd go wrong with either, but man this is a tricky decision for me. Thanks again! 🙂👍🏻
Just woke up and watched this video over coffee to kick start “my cerebral focus”. Excellent demonstration but I missed something in the conversation about using one or the other to copy slides and negatives. I heard you say you can get a kit to do this, showing what comes with the kit, but you did not demonstrate that and I’m not sure which lens that kit was for but I assume it’s the 50mm? Also, if so, is it still possible to render quality slide and negative copies at 1:1 with the 105mm on a copy stand? What I watched your, and other videos, to find out?
Thank you ! I didn't get a chance to borrow the 35mm film kit so couldn't demo it. but yes it's for the 50mm lens. No idea re using it with the 105mm lens, but Nikon didn't say it is supported
@@TheRealRichardWong Thank you! This now means that I have a need for the 50mm and a desire for the 105mm. Some how based on my enjoyment of nature and my local flora and fauna I wish it would work with the 105mm.
very good review thanks. I will probably be going for the 50 for the lighter weight plus i am mostly a flowers person. Also quite like the idea of using it as standard lens
Honestly I would save that $$, and buy extension tubes ($47!!). I have the 50mm 1.8 and it works great! I get amazing sharp macro shots. In the future I would buy the 105mm and save the tubes for that extra zoom.
Considering i already have the 24-70 F4 and the 50mm F1.8 with my Z6, i would probably go for the 105 even if the 50 is nice and small/light ^^ And i also have a Zfc, so VR is very welcome too !
Thank you! When you were taking photos of the coin, was there a big difference in distance between you and the subject when you were using the 50mm vs. the 105mm?
I like your channel a lot . In this case I think you may consider review the combination of tokina 100 pro (not sure it’s have autofocus and most likely need adapter for z ) next to this lens it’s might be better then the 50mm mc
Thanks for the support! I haven't actually use any Tokina lenses for a very long time (can't really get them here locally in NZ). Would love to give it a try when I have the chance!
I like the 50MC's sunstars, especially when compared to the 105's. LOL The 50MC is going to be my main walkaround. The long minimum focus on the 50/85 were a downside to me. I had the 35-S, but being the same size as the 24-70F4S and owning a LumaCube-V2 I'll make do. I'll get more mileage out of the compact 50MC.
no third party macro lens for z mount from yongnou or viltrox ? i want to buy 1.2 50mm nikon macro might be better for product photography . great video doe
Thank you for the great review! With the 105 do you think people will be using AF for extreme closeups a bit more now than they ever did with the F mount 105? Thanks again!
Hi Ernie, thanks for watching! Re AF.... I am not too sure, personally I still find autofocus is hard to get focus precisely when shooting at 1:1. It's doable, but for myself I find manual focus is still faster and more precise
I want the focusing distance of the 105mm in the 50mm form factor. Seriously though, the 50mm has great appeal for keeping in your bag. The 105 is tempting due to reach if you’re going to do insects and the overall quality. Unsure at this stage.
I love my 24-70 f4 but have the 14 -30 and 24-200 so might trade the 24-70 against the 105 macro. The only thing I dislike is the 10 year life span given to these lenses which might make me opt for the Sigma 105! Great review👍
@@TheRealRichardWong if you look underneath the lens you have a 10 in a circle. That apparently states the years of reasonable use before the lens plastic parts reach their use by date! I've not researched this but I hope that is not the outcome as these lenses should last for 40, 50, 60 years. I'm old so it doesnt bother me but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I didnt notice this until I purchased a lenses!
@@mchjubjub6915 No, that's not true. The 10 circle symbole is a RoHS symbol for some environmental safety standard. www.nikonimgsupport.com/eu/BV_article?articleNo=000005915&configured=1&lang=bg
please demonstrate a focus shift photography with autofocus using any of these lenses. in My Nikkor 105mm vr micro lense I cannot do it in Z6ii, even though I can do it with Nikkor 50mm f1.8.
Hello, great information. I would be curious to know your opinion of the Z 50mm 1.8 in comparison to the two lenses discussed in this video. I am starting out and would like to buy one lens for food photography. That said I enjoy macro photography very much. I would appreciate your opinion. Many thanks.
For food photography, either of these macro lens would be better than the z 50 1.8 because you rarely need to or can shoot at f/1.8 for food photos because of the narrow DOF. 50mm is easier to use as you don't need to move too far away from the table but both are quite suitable i think
what do you mean by effective aperture? i wish you would make a video on that topic!~ if by "effective aperture" people mean that the amount of light decreases, that's not because the entrance pupil of the system got smaller, but just the luminosity decreased because we are sampling light from a smaller area.
Very thorough review Richard, thanks a lot. I will save up for the 105 as that is a focal length I don’t already have. By the way, looks like you upgraded to the Nikon Z7ii? Loved seeing the Kiwi currency in your stills :)
Hi Zak, yes get the lens that is most useful to YOU is always the best choice! No, i haven't upgrade to Z7II. I would love to, but cost is really a bit too much.
@@TheRealRichardWong Ah, got it. I am so happy with my Z7 I don’t see the point of upgrading to the Z7ii. As you say, it is a lot of money to invest, and given the sensor is identical…
What’s your opinion of the focus in comparison to the 105MC vs the 85S? Is there a noticeable difference aside outside focal length and minimum depth of field?
hey Daniel, harder is quite difficult to define. 1.8 gives you better low light performance, more bokeh/subject isolation . 2.8 macro well, it's a macro lens! I guess it depends on what you want more? Sorry i haven't compare the sharpenss but don't think any of these is bad anyway :)
105 for me...however i am in dilemma whether to get this or laowa 2:1 lens.. can you please compare it with laowa z mount in future videos?? would like to see if the difference in sharpness b/w both are huge or not at 1:1 ....
New to photography... I have 24-200 z lens with z7ii... still in a dillema... both lenses' focal length would overlap with my existing lens... tell me what to do..
There's no overlap in both at all.. the 105 macro is a totally different lens than the 24-200.. you have a limit to how close you can focus with the 24-200, plus it's a zoom lens and not a prime lens..
@@TheRealRichardWong thanks. I own the 105 but wanted one smaller. The Laowa is not an option because I need fast focus stacking with small objects and, therefore, AF
I am leaning towards the 105mm because it doubles as a great portrait lens. My only concern is will I be able to get 1:1 reproduction images of my 35mm film negatives as well as MF (6x6) film negatives?! I know the 50mm has the 35mm film kit but nothing else beyond that has been said or if the 105 can do the same job.
it's called 'bellows factor' for real photographers. A 1:2 Reproduction ratio is approx a 1 stop loss. 1:1 is approximately a 2 stops loss. (TTL metering compensates for this automatically.) I remember when photographers knew what they were doing. lol
Nikon Z MC 50 f/2.8 or Nikon Z MC 105 f/2.8 VR S, which one would you choose?
As a travel wedding photographer, this is an easy choice... the 50.
I am getting the 105mm { arrives tomorrow} and the better working distance works for me
I’ve ordered the 105. I wish one of the Z teleconverters was compatible with it though.
the 105, hands down.
