I purchased this lense to be used as a macro / portrait lens. It is without a doubt the best lense I own. It is super sharp, with excellent color. The only reason I give this lense 4 stars instead of 5 is the very short working distance. It is short enough that your own shadow can be cast over the lense and requires you to be so close it may frighten bugs away. I also use this lense a portrait lense, and have had great results.

I bought this lens used with a rating of E+, but when I opened the box I thought I had a new lens.

It took a little getting used to at first. But now I know how it works it is awesome. Can't wait for the snow to melt to go find some bugs to macro shoot.

This is a perfect lens for macro photography in small streams. I've been using it to capture images of small darters, juvenile sculpins and other small organisms.

I did not get my photos attached to my first review so I wanted to add them. I would also like to know from anyone who may have the experience with the 200mm macro lens if the only thing I will gain from using that one is distance.

Thank you!

I just don''t understand why this product does not come with a case-the ones I have gotten from Sigma have come with a nice padded case and cost less--and have no dought -they are good lenses.I am now wishing that I had followed my husbands advise and bought a sigma--mainly because I wouldn't have to now find a case for my lens that just came in stryofoam!

This is the only lens I own, as I inherited my camera and lens from a person who used it to take photos of retail products. I have found this lens to be great quality with consistent good results. I have been well pleased with my macro, portrait and even architecture photos - all with this lens.

I use it with a D300, I appreciate quick focus when I have the nose in the grass.

I bought this lens wanting to do macro work and it does exactly that with ease.

This is a well constructed lens, I use it with my D80. It focuses fast and accurately and its minimum focus distance is almost at the front of the lens. It's very good for macro photography, but you'll scare bugs if you want to take a picture since you have to get so close! It's perfect for flowers and portraits.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Telephoto Auto Focus Lens - Gray Market:

Photographing insects or small animals you would probably be better off with a 105 or longer macro. Excellent lens for flowers or other things that don't move. This lens is built to last. The quality says "Nikon Quality" Used with small image sensors, the depth of field is not quite the same as with a full frame film camera. This lens will produce really sharp images.

I love the lens. In this short time I have own the lens, it hasn't been a day that I don't use it and enjoying it.
I love how close you get to the subject and that 20 cm is very short 20 cm.
First I was confused by the variable aperture in the focus distance but it is very important though.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Telephoto Auto Focus Lens - Gray Market:

Optical performances are not far from equivalent sigma or tamron, but the construction is solid - it is built to last! I use also for fashion. However if you make studio photos or still life, the old Micro Nikkor 55f3,5 is better with smaller diaphragms.

Having used an F3 with the classic manual focus 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens for almost 20 years, moving to an F90S with the 60mm AF Micro-Nikkor lens was a smooth transition. I am a biologist who studies spiders, and so I take many images of these organisms in the wild, making a Micro-Nikkor lens a must-have item. In this regard, I continue to get superb images and having AF capability is a welcome advance compared to the 55mm Micro-Nikkor. As with the older lens, the 60mm Micro-Nikkor is plenty rugged and has served me well in habitats ranging from beaches to deep forest.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Telephoto Auto Focus Lens - Gray Market:

I use mine for close general work and macro imagery. Very sharp and max f2.8 allows easy manual focus although the auto-focus works great as well. Not just a digital lens so can also be used on manual film cameras. My only nit is the depth of field markings are minimal, only f16 and f32 are given. One a pro level lens like this it seems a bit lame.

Originally purchased for close-up ability, but found it to be a perfect portrait lense, much better low-light lense than a zoom.
