I use that filter on my Sony FE 90 mm lens nearly every day. The image quality is excellent and I get a bout 1.8:1 magnification. With the 105 lens you should get very close to 2:1 magnification.

I may have confused things - I don't have the Nisi 58mm 5 dioptre ( yet ).  I was just trying today a Nikon 6T ( 2.9 dioptres ) on my Tamron SP90/ 2.8 0n a FF body.

Quick check:  mag is 1.45:1 and resolution looks fine and certainly good enough for me.  The working distance is about 90 mm at MFD.  Field looks pretty flat. As a bonus - the AF-C does work well once in the focus zone - even on a Z6.

Just wanted a bit more magnification at the moment and this will do since its easy to take on/off.

In any case I do close ups on a D500 or a Nikon 1 in preference to FF and  so I have the additional crop factor "mag" of 1.5 or 2.7 X if needed.
