105mm VR is not too expensive compared to F mount lens.

Good for Nikon users, macro / close up equipment has always been one of their strength. I remember with nostalgia my 55mm /105mm AI-S Micro Nikkor combo, they were superb lenses. Great to see Nikon new releases, I hope they'll keep going as a company, it's a name in the photo industry I would not like to see disappear.

I have so many fond memories of Nikon cameras, as I have with with my darkroom days. I would definitely like to see them succeed!

What about a cute little RF 50 L macro ???

The 105mm macro was a extremely easy pre order. I was expecting £1500-£1899, not £999. It is a shame it doesn't work with the TC's, but not surprising giving the Canon RF also doesn't work with TC's and that the focus is on the best image quality.

No new >105mm macros =S... strange time!
With my old Sigma 150mm I can use a TC and go to 210mm 4.0

I really wish Canon would offer something similar! With macro I like small and lightweight. The smaller price tags help too!
I think Canon's new design will be great, I just wish there was something in a smaller footprint available with 1:1.
