You want Macro, I'll give you Macro! I removed this lens from it's box after purchasing and was very pleased with the weight of this sucker, and then I used it. The results were amazing, sharp, fast, and easy to use. The deep lens element negates the need for a lens hood in most situations.
Pros:
- * Fast
- * Sharp at Portrait or Macro Photography
- * Heavy
- well built
Cons:
- * Looses a stop when focused right in

Fantastic Macro Lens
This is an absolutely fantastic lens. It's extremely sharp. The autofocus is very fast, even though it's not an AF-S lens. The AF is fast enough to cover sports which require short lenses such as basketball. The field of view on DX bodies allows it to double as a portrait lens.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight

More than just a macro lens
I had the legendary 105 2.8 macro but never used it b/c of the extending barrel and just too long.This guy is compact, pretty light and really sharp, I mean really sharp. Ultra sharp macro (use a tripod, always) and I love it on the street or in the back country. This is a really sharp lens.
Pros:
- Durable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
Cons:
- Heavy

Best Macro lens For the Money...By Far!
Cames quickly in MINT condition! Excellent optics that will work for all but the most critical scientific applications and even then I'd use it. Nice solid brass construction for those who don't like poly carbonates. Heavy and reliable!

Nikon calls their macro lenses "micro-Nikkors". This is a bit odd considering that they only focus down to 1:1 (still in the macro range) and that they are anything but micro in size. The series includes a 60, a 105, and a 200. My favorite lens is the 60.

Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro Nikkor review by 123click
Extremely sharp when stopped down but forget about using it wide open because it is just a blur in the corners and just mediocre in the center.
Pros:
- Extremely sharp when stopped down
Cons:
- Terrible corner sharpness at f2.8 and often require artificial lighting
- a tripod or a flash to get results
