Nikon 60mm F/2.8 AF-S 

Top Rated Gear: Used Nikon 60mm f/2.8G AF-S Micro Nikkor AF ED Lens V MFR: 2177.

The Compact, versatile Micro-NIKKOR lens for close-up, copy work and general photography. It provides continuous autofocus from infinity to life-size (1:1 reproduction ratio). Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and quiet autofocus operation. Two aspherical elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even at the widest aperture.ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration. The Internal Focusing (IF) design allows faster, smoother autofocusing and eliminates barrel length changes for consistent handling-design also eliminates front element rotation, enabling easier use of polarizers and Nikon's Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System.

This is a perfect lens for shooting artwork or jewelry. There is almost no distortion and it is very sharp. On a crop sensor camera it is 90mm equivalent and makes a perfect portrait lens.

Love this lens

Haven’t used it alot but like it so far

Lens

Awesome lens. Has really allowed me to take the next step in macro photography at a reasonable price. Works great with my Nikon D3400. Great quality, not too heavy. Totally worth the price.

Great Macro Lens

This micro lens feels just perfect for the work I do.

Very sharp

I used the camera first time for engagement images. Several locations around Boston and Cambridge  great detail and lighting

Engagement images

Great lens.
Purchased to copy 35mm slides

Nikon Macro (Micro) Lens

I really like this lens. I had the d version for twenty years and it stopped auto focusing. Decided to try the new version. I focuses faster than the d and has internal focusing. They are both sharp and good otherwise.

nikon 60 macro n

I generally use a Nikon 105 macro. I purchased to use with the Nikon ES-1 52mm Slide Copy Adapter. I am blown away by the performance of the lens and the copier. Razor Sharp auto Focus, edge to edge, on the plane of the slide at such a short distance, capture of the existing details in the transparency is amazing. digitizing the slide enables one to use raw and Photoshop to bring out a lot more dynamic range than viewing the original.

Redoing every slide I ever scanned.

This is a tack sharp macro lens with incredible close focusing ability. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to do macro phorography.

Tack sharp, very impressive!

For the price this is a very nice lens.  Because of the focal length I use it for both Macro work and Portraits.

Not the fastest, but very good

Wonderful lens, very sharp, great macro.  Only problem is a little hard to mount to D750.  Got an email from Adorama from someone to help with questions, so I will ask about this.  Otherwise liking this lens and much lighter than the 105mm.

Good lens, very sharp.

What a great lens! I use it all the time for studio food images and it is just the right length lens. It is a very tight fit though. I have been using SLR cameras since the 80's and it is the highest I have come across. The Adorama assistant said sometimes they are like that...?

Perfect for close up

Very sharp images on close-up shots, as well a good lens to use for stand in
portrait work. The lens is light enough, as macro-micro lens go, that it can be
used as a "walk around" lens. The 60 feels solid and the focus ring has a good
feel to it. I have used this lens for close ups of wildflowers to pottery displays
in museums with great results. The only tricky part is using it for insect shots,
such as butterflies; for this I have stayed with my telephoto.

I hope you enjoy your 60 as much as I have!

A Great Lens to Own

The prominent negative review for this macro lens cites that it is NOT f2.8 and the owner returned it. Apparently, this user did not know that Nikon, alone among camera/lens manufacturers, shows the REAL effective f/stop in use at close "macro" distances. All lenses are rated for the f/stop at "infinity". But the focal ratio of all lenses increases as you focus on nearby objects. ANY lens (macro or otherwise) that is focused very close to the subject will effectively be operating at a much higher f/stop. On Nikon macro lenses, the REAL f/stop is calculated and shown as you focus closely. All other camera/lens manufacturers just keep on showing the "infinity" f/stop, which is wildly inaccurate at macro focusing distances. This becomes clear if you try to use a strobe and believe the way-too-optimistic f/stop at infinity when at macro distances. It's likely that this macro lens, when wide open but focused at 1:1 could be at f/8 or so. This is the way ALL lenses work. It was misguided to blame Nikon for being accurate. I have three Nikon macro lenses and all of them show the real effective f/stop as you close in on 1:1.

f/2.8 confusion explained

I love this lens.  I use it for all macro photos but also for portraits as well.  
It gives very crisp photos as well as excellent bokeh where you want it.  
Small and easy to carry.
Love this...you have to try it to see the results you will get.
Worth the price.

Excellent

I'm currently using the lense on a Fuji S3 Pro UV/IR camera.

Great lens!

This lens is super sharp and lightweight. I typically use it for macro photography but is also a great portrait lens. I've had great results when paired with my SB-700 for close up shots of bugs and flowers. You can't go wrong with this lens.

Awesome lens!

Would recommend to anyone needing a super sharp close focus micro lens.

Great super sharp micro lens

Great all around lens... Macro, portrait, product, whatever! Quiet, solid and super sharp!

Fantastic lens...

I use this lens mostly for Macro underwater.  Love the lens.

Don't fret the small stuff.

Great Macro lens

piece of junk

This lens was recommended for delicate, close-up work and it is great.  I have begun to get the feel of the additional weight in my hand.
I haven't been able to get outside yet because of the snow to take some close-up shots and can't wait. I am learning as I go so I will update as 
to the ease of this lens.  I bought this as a gift for myself.

What a thrill!

Very good lens.

This is a super lens. Sharp and quick focusing, for a macro. Nice portrait lens also. I have the 105mm and was unsure whether or not I would get much use out of the 60mm but I find that I'm using it more than I thought. I look at the 60mm as my "indoor" macro lens and the 105mm as my "outdoor macro.

Excellent Lens

As an underwater Photographer the 60 MM is very fast focus in lower light and is great for the macro shots of small creatures.  I really enjoy the way it operates inside an underwater housing. I cannot believe how sharp and clear the whole frame is... Finally I can quit worring about reflections, and concentrate on the shot..  Thanks Adorama

NIKON MADE GOOD BETTER !!!!!

This lens is not a disappointment - I am happy with this product.  Try it - you'll like it.

Northern Virginian Loves It

First of all, this is a fine macro lens.  If you think this is much sharper than the previous model, think again.  I also own the older lens, and it is very, very sharp.  This G lens may be sharper, but if it is, not by much.  This is a very fine macro lens.  The major difference in this model, is the speed of the focus and how quiet it is. 
   Unlike the old lens, the front lens element is close to the front.  You should get a good quality filter for the the lens.  Nikon wants about 50 for a clear glass filter.  Buy a B+W filter and get what you pay for.

Excellent Macro Lens

The first day I got this lens, I tried a few shots and was overjoyed by the clarity. The most amazing shots were of a dollar bill. I was able to get within a couple inches of the bill, and the fine detail astounded me. The images revealed details that I had never imagined in the printing.

One warning: as you get closer to the object, the depth of field narrows. When taking photos of the dollar bill, the depth of field was probably about 1 millimeter, which meant that a simple fold in the bill threw parts of the image out of focus. Bearing that in mind, you can still get amazing shots.

Blew me away!

What a fantastic lens.  Talk about closeups!  You can see the hairs on the dragonfly's legs!
