Which is the best Nikon Pro quality Macro lens for DSLR Cameras?
It isn’t a Nikon lens at all. The best lens is the Tokina Macro lens. In particular, it’s the Tokina AT-X PRO D 100 millimeter F/2.8 lens made in Japan.
I have owned this lens for 9 (nine) years. I have loved it from DAY 1. This lens is built exceptionally strong and durable. I have dropped it on the camera a number of times, and I’ve even fallen on TOP OF this lens. There is literally not one mark on the lens body.
PROS for the Tokina AT-X PRO D 100mm F/2.8:
** Heavyweight – feels pro
** Focus limit speeds up focusing
** Ergonomic, great feel and handling
** Super-easy manual focus switch from auto focus
** Crystal clear images
** Exceptional color
** Works with nearly all late-model Nikon DSLRs and Canon as well
CONS
The inside barrel of the lens comes out during focusing, – not ideal.
That is literally the only CON we can come up with for this Macro lens.
In addition to our non-technical review of this amazing lens, we share 9 high resolution images taken with this Macro lens in the rainforest in Southeast Asia.
NIKON MICRO LENS, MACRO LENS – it’s funny that the best lens build quality for your Pro Nikon Full-frame DSLR isn’t even a NIKON product. Well, a little bit funny I guess…

Haha. Love the sound fx
I love this lens too! My favorite lens. Its also great for portraits and many other situations. Looooove it!
So let me make sure I got this…. I use a Nikon D5100. Are you saying the Auto focus will not work at all? I intend to use this lens for macro photos where I will likely be doing manual focus but IF I use this for portraits will the AF be disabled?
will it auto-focus on a nikon d80? thanks!
too low voice
I would never buy a lens from you!!!
Trying to get one but very difficult in Thailand
nice one !!! i have it to . I got it from lauzeau in MTL on special. near $300 (demo) . good revew body !!!!
Awesome vid! I really hope you could answer this question: will the autofocus work on my d5300?
Will this focus and perform well with a nikon d5500 ?
Is working distance an issue with this lens when working with venomous snakes or trying to get close to insects without scaring them off?
The sound effects are SO unnecessary!
I ordered this lens for my D810. How close do you need to get to the subject to fill the frame (a bug for example).
very helpful review for me
how close I could get to take photo of 8-10mm subject?
how it works on fine jewellery?
I don’t want to spend $900 on Nikon 105 but I can spend $380(new lens) on tokina
this lens is amazing highly recomended to staking at hi ratios with use in bellows pb6 at large extentions and macro rail, superb results!!!!
hhhhhhhh you’re funny dude
what about portraits?
Excellent Review, DT…
thanks for telling me it doesn’t auto focus with d5100. cause that’s the gear i have.
Like the photos.
