This is Nikon's premier telephoto macro (they call it "micro") lens. I've used it primarily for close-up and macro wildflower photography, but it is also an excellent portrait telephoto lens. It is NOT a zoom lens.
Here is the description from its Amazon page:
A must-have for standard portraits and everyday use, the AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G is a VR (Vibration Reduction) lens that will absolutely surprise you. The 105mm focal length with a fast f/2.8 aperture allows you to capture stunning images with a shallow depth-of-field, letting your subjects stand out from their backgrounds. The AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G may soon become your new favorite lens.
