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!

Very nice for beginners

If I can only carry one camera while on vacation or when weight limit is an issue, this is the lens I most often use with my D800e. Informal people photos, landscapes, and close-ups/copy-work, the 60mm G is a good bargain lens.

low distortion; good contrast; light weight; sufficiently sharp

This is my favourite lens. It's sharp, razor sharp, right across the frame (DX in my case) at all apertures. I've heard people say that it focuses slower than the Nikon 105mm macro lens but when I tried the two side by side in the shop before buying this lens I found that on a D7000 or D7100 the...

Very sharp at all apertures; fast accurate focusing

Nikon's latest 60mm Micro lens replaces the old D version and adds a silent wave focusing motor, a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, internal focusing and can be picked up for around ￡365. This lens is compatible with both FX and DX format cameras.

I have been shooting a Micro Nikkor 55mm 1:2.8 since 1986 on a Nikon F3. When I bought a Nikon D90 three years ago, I bought this lens. I also have the Micro Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8. For flowers, general photography inside and outside, this is an excellent choice.

Want to get extreme close-up shots on any camera format? Look no further than the Nikon 60mm f/2.8 micro lens… Many lenses are labelled ‘macro', implying they support ultra-close-up shooting. But in most cases this isn't really true. For real macro photography you need a genuine macro lens.
