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

I had bought this one before it got a "D" at the end of its name but it's the same lens. I shot it on F501, F801, D200, D800E and adapted it to Sony NEX 7. With any camera I got wonderfull close up pictures.
Pros:
  • Very good image quality
Cons:
  • All plastics
  • would not last for eternity

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
