I sold my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens in order to afford swapping to this Nikkor. The difference in focal length is negligible in practical use, but having the close focusing ability adds so much more to my kit. Focus is sharp from edge to edge, and the colors are true to rest of Nikons lens line.

Great lens. Used for macro underwater.great bokeh very sharp! Didn't love macro underwater till I got this lens paired with my D500!

This lens is very highly rated in terms of sharpness, and freedom from distortion (straight lines remain straight, not curved). In addition it is a macro lens (Nikkor refers to it as a micro) which means it has the ability to focus much more closely than a conventional lens, and also that the lenses...

Optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX-format (23.9 x 36mm) and DX-format image sensors.

This is a truly excellent lens. Used with the D800E it achieves extremely clean high quality images. It is used only in a studio and delivers as expected. Excellent construction and well balanced this is an outstanding product.

The Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED ($599.95) is a versatile lens that can serve as an everyday choice for fans of a standard-angle field of view, while also supporting close focus for 1:1 macro magnification.

The Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED ($599.95) is a versatile lens that can serve as an everyday choice for fans of a standard-angle field of view, while also supporting close focus for 1:1 macro magnification. It's a solid performer, capturing images that are evenly crisp from edge to edge and free of distortion, but with a strong vignette that dims edges and corners at wider apertures. If you're in want of a macro of this focal legnth, it's an excellent choice, but not quite the equal of our Editors' Choice Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro VC USD ($689.00 at Amazon) , which has a slightly tighter angle of view, but is incredibly sharp in its own right and adds image stabilization. DesignThe Micro-Nikkor 60mm ($596.95 at Amazon) looks like almost every modern Nikon lens. Its barrel is black polycarbonate with gold accents, and the mount is metal. It's a svelte optic—it measures 3.5 by 2.9 inches (HD), weighs 15 ounces, and supports 62mm front filters. A reversible lens hood is in...

Very nice for beginners

I recommend this product for professional ,entry-level and entry-professional photographers.It is a high quality lens with no distortions and a great blur effect. I mostly used with a D5100 and D5300. This lens is one of my favourites.It definitely deserves 5 stars!

Amazingly sharp lens, and as others have said you do need to get very close when using on a full frame. I sold it in the end and brought a 105mm macro, i loved this lens on my crop sensor.
