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.

I love this lens-it is my favorite, thus far!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful macro or micro lens, and it is also wonderful for portraits. However, do not be fooled by the "VR" that Best Buy has added to the description...it's not there.

Crystal clear images; outstanding close-ups; beautiful bokeh

No VR as Best Buy has stated in their description

I actually walked into my local camera store with every intention of getting the newer Micro 85mm 3.5 VR, but actually had to prove to the staff that it even existed, so needless to say, I didn't even get to touch it. Must have been Gods will.

- Tack sharp at all apertures; - AF override compared to other brands; - quick; silent; internal focusing; - accurate colors; - Nano coating...apparently that's good; - includes hood; - minimal focus distance at around 2" away; - 9 blades for great backgrounds; - Nice solid build; no shaking parts

- Pricey; I did also pay the premium of getting it in store rather then getting if from Adorama; Gotta support the local stores once in a while, - Heavy...unless you like it that way like I do, - Some may scoff at the lack of a limit switch, - 60mm means getting real close to your subject.

like one of the previous reviewers i have been using the 105mm micro for some time and love it! but sometimes it's not enough to move the camera back to fit everything into frame (something made easier for me by using the manfrotto macro focusing rail) with the slightly longer lens and i finally...

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Sharp Focus

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.

this is a beautiful lense, the micro (macro) looks great even in lower light situations. on a dx format camera (90mm equivalant) it is a sharp clean portrait lens. nice speed on the auto-focus.

This is a very good lens length, it is very easy to hand hold and hand hold still. It is probably the best Nikkor macro of this range, I have owned the 55 mm 3.5 non-Ai, the 55mm 2.8 AIs and the 60mm 2.8 AF-d....all have been very good this one tops them.

This is the latest model for 60mm f2.8 macro lens from Nikon. This new model focuses much faster with AF-S. It is already very sharp wide open all the way to f16. In addition, the lens also yields very sharp image for shooting a distant object, a big improvement from the older model.

Very sharp from f2.8 to f16; fast and quiet focus

None

I use this for closeups, mostly flowers and landscape. I also find it's fun to use on other objects.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus

Well I did not purchased from Flipkart yet I wanted to write how good this lens is. Firstly at high F stop you will get amazing bokeh. This lens is tact sharp I have ever used and is sharper than Nikon 70-200vr lens..
