Best Pick

Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S 105mm

81.5 Macro Score
105mm 32 Nikon Z IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

This 105mm f/2.8 macro lens delivers true 1:1 magnification with edge-to-edge sharpness, aided by a dual-motor multi-focus system and Nano Crystal/ARNEO coatings that suppress flare and chromatic aberration. Its 4.5-stop Vibration Reduction enables steady handheld close-ups, while weather sealing and a fluorine coating handle dust and moisture. Best for macro photographers capturing fine details of insects, products, or flowers who need reliable sharpness and stabilization without a tripod.

Nikon Speed Booster XL MB_SPNFG-M43-BM2

16.4 Macro Score
Nikon G
Why we recommend this

The Metabones Speed Booster XL 0.64x adapter concentrates full-frame Nikon G lens light onto Micro Four Thirds sensors, increasing brightness by over a stop while widening the angle of view. Its 50.9/100 portrait score reflects effective shallow depth-of-field results, despite lacking autofocus and stabilization. This adapter is best for portrait shooters adapting Nikon G glass to MFT, but its 15.3/100 macro score makes it unsuitable for close-up work.
