maybe time to retire my 105 micro nikkor... dwarf warrior

ah, nikon [finally] announced a replacement for the 1990 work-horse af-d micro-nikkor 105mm f/2.8. af-s vr micro-nikkor 105mm f/2.8g if-ed looks very good on spec. i suppose vr is not a big surprise; proper macro technique [ie. sturdy tripod, focusing rail, mirror lock, remote release] for that extra bit of sharpness may be too much work for most photogs...

[interesting thing: this is a very special lens not crippled for dx sensors. i see it as a not-so-subtle clue for future pro-grade nikon DLSRs with full-size sensors...]
