<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benveniste, post: 2663149, member: 25547&quot;]The actual 1:1 working distances for the 105mm VR and the 85mm VR are 148mm and 141mm respectively.&nbsp; The working distance with a 75mm enlarger lens at 1:1 is at most 150mm.&nbsp; In comparison, the working distance of a 105mm f/4 AI with a 52.5mm extension tube was 173mm.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what setup you were using which made the massive 2mm shorter working distance of the 105mm VR &quot;unsuitable,&quot; but I&#039;ve found that I have no issues no matter whether I use an SB-21 ring light, the Nikon R1 system with two SB-R200&#039;s, or my copystand lights.&nbsp; Over 80% of the coins I&#039;ve photographed are with the 105mm VR even though I also own 60mm, 85mm and 180mm macro lenses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
