As well known, the Nikon 105mm F2.8 AIS Micro is superb in every way...exceptional resolution with close range correction; nice handling and modest size; and exquisite workmanship. This particular lens is new-in-box condition with matching numbers, including paperwork, lens caps, lens hood, and packaging. The lens is the most recent 2006 series with SIC coating (manufactured about 2017/18), and is part of a collection of new AIS lenses of a longstanding Nikon collector. Nikon currently offers this lens for over $700 new.
