Nikkor MC 105mm 2.8 VR S: A Month of Micro

#NikonZ
The NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S micro lens was released by Nikon on June 25th. I picked mine up from the camera store that day. So, I've spent the last month getting to know it. Here's my take, with photo and video examples. Bonus: Nikon Z in-camera focus stacking and Lightroom/Photoshop processing.
