As the name implies the Nikkor is a macro lenses with a min. focus distance of 0.22m resulting in a max. object magnification of 1:1. The build quality of the lens is very decent thanks to an outer barrel made of good quality polycarbonate with a sleek finish.

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!

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

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.

* Fast; * Sharp at Portrait or Macro Photography; * Heavy; well built

* Looses a stop when focused right in

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.

Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight

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.

This well-built Nikon lens should stand up to most rigorous handling. Offering a full-frame imaging circle, the lens offers the equivalent of 90mm on Nikon's DX-format digital cameras.

Outstanding sharpness; good build

Slowish switch between manual and AF

I had been wanting to add Macro capabilities to my repetoire of compositions for some time now. What I hadn't bargained for was a deadly sharp 90mm F2.8 equivalent portrait lens, when used on my digital body.

Incredibly sharp; detailed well saturated images produced

A little slow to focus in AF

Pro-quality build, and pro quality results.....

Outstanding sharpness; good build

Slowish switch between manual and AF

The Nikon 60mm f/2.8 macro lens is a fantastic choice for those who like to get right up close to their subject. This lens is ideal for those who like to shoot textures (plants, flowers, still life, etc).
