Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Got my Nikon 105 MicroVR yesterday. Here are a couple of shots, handheld. Both are 100% crops.
Aperture: f/19.0 ISO: 400 Focal Length: 105mm (157mm 35mm)
Exposure Time: 0.0055s (1/180)
Aperture: f/19.0 ISO: 400 Focal Length: 105mm (157mm 35mm)
Exposure Time: 0.0055s (1/180)
I am leaving this morning for a two week trip riding dirtbikes from Cape York to Cairns so will post a couple of photos when I get back. I should be able to offer some comment on the 105 VR also.

Craig,
Congratulations on the new arrival.
I love that second image. I'm looking forward to seeing more results, and some further, detailed descriptions of this lens.
And have a safe trip.

How do you find the handling and VR/AFS of this lens in macro work-distances? I'd like to hear a first impression review from your side

Gary Do you know what the second image is? Excuse the shocking grammer.

Craig,
Not a clue, but I'm thinking a section of a concrete path.

I am looking to get the 105 VR for my d70s in the next week or two, I am really interested to see what eventuates.
And, I think that the photo looks like the underside of something that is either preiodically coated or igneous... a small stone mudguard?

Now that Iam back from my holiday and catching up, here is the answer to the question: What is image number two?
The rear tyre of my motorcycle, the diagonal slash is a tread groove.  The tire had just done an afternoons training out on the track.
Regards
Craig
