    Hi:

    Sorry for the basic question. Couldn't find the answer, not even on
    Nikon's site...

    Does the Nikon 105mm f/2.8D micro do internal focusing (allowing the
    overall lens length to remain constant throughout the focal range)?

    Thanks.

    It sounds like not from what's said on this site:

    The front of the lens grows about 1 inch over the full focus range.

    The end of the lens does go in and out about an inch but it doesn't
    rotate like some older AF lenses so you can use split filters,
    polarizers etc. without problem.

    Yes, about a 1.25" to 1.5" in a straight in out motion. This is great since
    it allows installation of the R1C1 flash unit and other accessories that
    would be problematic with other rotating barrel lenses.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I prefer IF but at least the front
    element doesn't rotate. That's the more important part. Thanks again.
