Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro Nikkor Review

 

In its own right, the Nikon 60mm ƒ/2.8 AF-S is an excellent lens, providing excellent results for sharpness, tolerance to CA and almost no distortion. Light falloff is a little noticeable when mounted on a DX body, and very significant on a full-frame...

Nikon 60mm f/2.8 D AF Micro Review Round-Up

 

Released back in ‘93 the Micro-Nikkor AF 60mm f/2.8 D is a relatively old design but it can still deliver excellent results. The resolution figures are excellent and both vignetting and distortions are nothing to worry about. CAs are a little on the...

Lens Test: Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro-Nikkor

 

The latest version of Nikon's legendary close-focusing 1:1 "normal" macro (the first was the 55mm f/3.5 of 1961), this full-frame lens ($490, street) incorporates aspheric and ED glass elements, with Nikon's Nano crystal coating, indicated by the gold...

Nikon 60/2.8 AF macro lens

 

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...

How close is 1:1? That means that you are filling the 35mm frame with an object the same size as a 35mm frame, i.e., 24x36mm. With the 60mm lens, you are 8.75 inches from your subject at this reproduction ratio. The 105 gives you 12 inches of working...

Sharp Performer

 

I bought mine second hand in mint condition. It is sharp from macro to infinity, with no perceptible distortion or light falloff. Focus is accurate. Best results are at f4 and f5.6, where it is the sharpest lens that I have - prime or zoom. It works...

Sharpness, build quality, accurate focus.

The need to re-focus if you want to store the lens after shooting macro, as it has rather a long extension.

Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro Nikkor review by Toby

 

I have now tested several samples. Although it seems to be a sharp lens, one should know that the focal length changes considerably at higher magnification ratio. At 1:1, the working distance is only about 5 cm cmpared to the Tamron 60 mm lens in which...

Smooth AF, manual focusing possible any time, full frame compatible

changes focal length at higher magnification, somewhat bulky

Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro Nikkor review by sgnirts

 

You just can't ask for better image quality, this is "the stuff", decent macro range for flowers and stuff that you can't "scare off". This 60mm is one of the sharpest lenses I have ever used, works for people, pets, flowers, big bugs, copy work,...

Sharp, reasonable range, versitile, better focus speed than expected, f2.8
