How does the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S match up with other lenses with a similar focal length ?
Two other high performing lenses tested on the Z6II are shown with an arbitrary resolution threshold of 3000 lp/ph.
The NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S has an overall resolution superiority to both the AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF and Zeiss Milvus 2/100M measured using the Chrome-on-Glass imaging target. Another advantage of the NIKKOR Z lens is that maintains a good resolution when it is stopped down to f/16 which is good for depth of field.
The Nikon Z series of cameras has the ability to take a series of images for focus stacking, so the great performance at f/4 to f/5.6 should allow great images to be created using this lens.
