A:AnswerYes the lens is 1:1 and it is not a magnification, exactly. In simple terms it just means that the image you are shooting will be the same size on your sensor as it is in real life. Your sensor is about the size of a stamp in your camera so for most cases it is enough for what you are intending to do. Keep in mind you lose significant depth of field at high magnification. So much so that you can take a picture of an ant from the front where its head will be in focus and the other end will be completely out of focus. If you are looking for higher magnifications such as 2:1 or even 5:1 this will be even more pronounced. You would likely have to take multiple pictures of a subject and then stack them in post process with software. This will be extremely challenging with moving subjects, even slightly moving.
That said you can also use additionally you can add some nice aftermarket magnification glass that is pretty affordable for those occasions you would need it or even use extension tubes. I have both and have not found a scenario yet where I felt I needed more than 1:1 yet and I am over the moon happy with my lens. I included a sample image.

The Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens is designed to provide exceptional image quality and has a fast, 2.8 aperture and a 1:1 reproduction ratio. This allows it to capture minuscule details of subjects that might be a bit of distance away. When using it with a DX-format camera like the Nikon D500 you will have a maximum angle of view of 15° as opposed to 23°20' in an FX-format camera. This lens is an excellent addition to your growing camera bag.

A:Answer"Good" is of course a subjective term, and can vary greatly depending on what type of portrait you are taking and personal taste, but the 105mm micro Nikkor does have several characteristics that are generally considered desirable in a portrait lens. 105mm is a long enough lens that it does not unpleasantly distort the human face, can help create some separation between your subject and the background, but still allow you to stand close enough to them to work indoors and without being so far apart that communication is difficult. Generally, people tend to prefer fast lenses for portraits partly because their wider aperture (represented by a smaller f number) allows for a shallower depth of field, making it easier to isolate the subject by bluring the background. Though not the fastest lens out there, f2.8 is still plenty fast and allows for both blurred backgrounds in portraits, and photographs in low light. If you plan on working as a professional portrait photographer you might want to consider getting an 85mm f1.4 or the much more expensive 105mm f1.4E, but you can create a good portrait with any lens if you know its strengths and limitations. I have taken many, many portraits for a major NCAA athletics program with the 70-200mm f2.8 I carry with me everywhere, and have received nothing but compliments on the portraits. I could easily have gotten similar results with the 105mm f2.8 mirco. In summary, while there are some lenses that are a little sharper and a little faster that may be more diserable for portrait work, most of them are significantly more expensive and none of them have the 1:1 macro feature of this lens. With a little practice, this lens will take excellent portraits. if you are just starting out in photography, or want to explore different kinds of photography, this lens will allow you to both take portraits and delve into the fascinating world of macro photography. It also tends to have a pretty good used resale value, so If after awhile you decide you don't care for macro photography at all and want to upgrade to a more specialized portrait lens, you can get back a significant portion of the cost of this lens by selling it on the used market.
