  | sent on 13 Gennaio 2023 Pros: Defined images, sharpness to the nth degree, beautiful colors, formidable macro, fast autofocus. Cons: nothing. Opinion: The average rating of 9.8 out of 10 does full justice to this excellent lens worthy of the Nikon name. I use it with my D500, which in DX is a 90, and for the macro it is the most desirable there can be. Top images throughout: sharpness, contrast, perfect detail, faithful colors and rendered perfectly, in the macro it is simply superb! Compared to other macro lenses both Nikon and not, it is really number one. |
 | sent on 16 Novembre 2021 Pros: Contrast, uniformity of yield, control of perspective. Cons: It might be a bit cumbersome. Opinion: I bought this lens in the mid-90s to take photographs of tiles and ceramics for the catalogs of a well-known brand. I used it on one of the first digital cameras available, a Kodak that mounted a digital sensor on Nikon N90 body. I therefore needed a lens that did not introduce distortion and could faithfully render the colors and texture of the products. After a few years I took the F90 body on film and used this lens as the main one to take photographs of everything, especially portraits or travel. I then used it on a Fuji S3 always with great satisfaction and now on an F4 again on film. I haven't done professional photography in decades but this is one of those lenses that I will never sell. It has a natural and three-dimensional rendering, with a beautiful contrast. It's a bit chubbly to get very close to small subjects without making shadows but it's really well done. |
 | sent on 14 Aprile 2021 Pros: Image Detail, Colors, Black and White Yield, Fast Focus for My Needs, Value for Money Cons: Frankly, no one at the moment Opinion: I tested this lens in combination with my initially skeptical D750 as I love lenses with openings such as to allow blurry of a certain type since portraiture is my main passion. Immediately I was impressed by the sharpness and colors that this lens returns and, as a icing on the cake, in Black and White makes a lot. The blurry also proved very pleasant despite the maximum opening of 2.8. Another aspect that convinced me is in fact the focal point in fact I tried the 80mm, typical of the portrait, but it limited me a lot in use because it was too narrow. The 60mm is for my perfect taste. In the end, as you can imagine from a test it turned into a purchase by eventually replacing the classic 50mm in the bag. I consider it an excellent lens for those who have machines that allow to motorize their autofocus, unfortunately the recent Z do not allow to do so so it would work exclusively in manual and the speech changes them. |
 | sent on 18 Novembre 2020 Pros: Old school lens optimized for excellent diaphragm yield closed at f:22 is better than G version Cons: autofocus does not work in the Z series with FTZ - works on D800 series (but not focus shift on D850) Opinion: as I already wrote in the Micro Nikkor 60 2.8 D forum, it is fantastic at f:8 and good up to f:22 to 32 drops the newer Micro Nikkor 60 2.8 G, has the internal motor and works on all Nikkon bodies even the Z's (and you can do focus stacking) as sharpness is better at full opening and intermediate diaphragms ... but at f:22 it's much less than D |
  | sent on 17 Novembre 2020 Pros: Aesthetically beautiful, mechanically TOP, Quick Autofocus, colors, sharpness, value for money! Cons: Are we kidding me? Opinion: A crazy lens.... in the sense that it's crazy.... in the sense that you use it quietly to make a portrait or a glimpse of landscape, a still life, of the food any small object and you get up to photograph an ant! f/2.8 minimum that gives a fabulous clarity and a very pleasant blurry with very linear passages. I don't find autofocus at all slow (as some complain) compared to Sigma and Tamron this is lightning, lightning, instantaneous and silent! In manual the focus ring is wonderful, being really well built, it allows you to have a sniper adjustment, no games, frills, returns or other. Luckily I was able to buy a specimen to say the least.. "splendid", at about 300 Euros and I can say that for the range of situations that it manages to cover and for the quality of everything already indicated, it can be worth absolutely much more than what it costs!!! Very recommended lens... once mounted, you hardly take it out of the car! |
 | sent on 10 Dicembre 2019 Pros: Definitely the lightness and the price .... brightness and sharpness even if...... Cons: With my sharpness only from f4.5 on the whole focal on.... in fact, on the sides from 2.8 to 4.5 is blurry... Opinion: I took this lens used to have a less heavy lens and finally a fixed that would take photos worthy of being called such... My concern is that I wanted to take pictures at 2.8 (as stated) because of the scarcity of light but coming home and looking at them on the monitor I noticed that at this focal the photos in the center were perfect while on the sides they were fearfully blurred .... then doing tests on tests I noticed that closing at 4.5 the photos were sharper even on the sides.... now I do not know if it is a defect of my lens so I hope someone will tell me if it is normal or not this thing that in my opinion (after reading all the reviews) seems impossible to doubt this lens praised by several of you..... so I ask for help.... thank you in advance..... by the way I noticed that in manual I can not take pictures.... strange is thing!!! Cmq those who want to make panoramas I recommend to use a diaphragm from 4.5 and increase slightly the iso. |
 | sent on 24 Novembre 2019 Pros: sharpness - slitins and weight content Cons: for now nothing Opinion: At first glance it may seem a bit vintage-like but often the appearance deceives and, as in this case using it, they appreciate its qualities. Recently found along with the more modern G ED. I preferred to opt for this old version in my opinion considerably superior of the G ED. Extraordinary sharpness, very low weight. Glass "generic" enough to be easily used in both portraiture and macro. |
 | sent on 25 Luglio 2019 Pros: Very high clarity, colors, build quality Cons: No one would say Opinion: Found in conditions equal to the new one in the used, an end-of-series specimen (2006/7). I have never had such a high-performance 50mm macro, higher than the already very good SMC F Pentax 50mm f/2.8 macro. I join those who preceded me emphasizing the amazing sharpness, the vivid colors, the very good surrender even at not close distances. The quality of construction, which makes it a professional objective (often abused term), is also excellent. I took it recently to match it to the 105mm f/2.8 micro that I use with full satisfaction for insects, while the 60mm I see it better for flora. Using this and the other optics, macro and not, in manual on a Sony Alpha 7 using adapters, I could not even find the relative slowness of the autofocus highlighted by others (but in macro anyway it is a relative limitation for me) |
 | sent on 05 Dicembre 2018 Pros: F2.8, super sharpness, color, contrast. Cons: Nothing for the moment Opinion: Really a beautiful lens, very sharp, really beautiful colors, almost absent distortion. I use it not only for macro but also for landscapes and it is also great for portraits. So you can use it a little bit for everything. I bought it on eBay at 300 new! Really amazing Optics!............................................................................................................ |

 | sent on 31 Gennaio 2017 Pros: attractive design, superb sharpness, bokeh textbook, you do not need hood, lightning-fast AF Cons: Nothing Opinion: fab Optics, both for macro that for portrait, I use with my D300S for which in effect becomes a 90mm from the spectacular yield. I had previously, the latest 60mm G ED series () which I immediately freed since this glass has a completely different performance, much higher, but right at all levels. rnSi located abbordabilissimi prices in the used market, I recommend the purchase, a view I would say irreplaceable. |
 | sent on 23 Novembre 2016 Pros: Sharpness, reproduction ratio, building, weight, has the aperture ring is also used without the lens hood. Very nice! Cons: Nobody. Opinion: And 'a true macro, then leave out the autofocus. The first accessory, for this purpose, is undoubtedly the stand. And 'essential for shooting with aperture in magnification a little pushed, to obtain the correct depth of field. Then come the brightness of the subject systems, but it is a topic long and quite technical, which I leave to experts. But we must not get tired of experimenting and studying. I bought it used, and I use it with a D90, but also mounted on a Nex 6. In my opinion, shape and weight, makes daily use in SLR very pleasant. Furthermore it has the aperture ring ..... |
 | sent on 05 Ottobre 2016 Pros: Sharpness, weight, price Cons: No defects found Opinion: Bought used for 280 €, the first thing noticed was the build quality of the lens, compact and lightweight. Once I mounted on nikon d750 I noticed an extreme sharpness. The only thing I regret is not to have purchased before. I also own a 180 Tamron macro I possess to keep longer distances, the nikon 60 Micro is perfect also approached with bellows and extension tubes, thanks to its light weight and size, and allows you to enlarge and focus stack with more serenity and precision. I recommend it to anyone looking macro perspective dedicated to the highest level |

| sent on 07 Dicembre 2015 Pros: Price, clarity, weight Cons: Nobody Opinion: A lens that can not fail to be a professional to a photography enthusiast (Nikonist). Of its kind, is to focus, for weight and especially the remarkable sharpness I was amazed and having tried the new, I would say, considering the price, it absolutely should not change. If you have to buy it, you can be certain to buy a beautiful tranquil "GLASS" |
 | sent on 09 Novembre 2015 Pros: Sharpness, construction, used price Cons: None for its kind Opinion: A lens that, despite the age and the fact that has been replaced by a new model, remains between the top macro. And 'impressive sharpness! On several occasions I had to redo the shot, clearing the scene well, because in the first picture was emerging details that the naked eye did not notice (dust, smudges, stains, etc ...). Also it is very solid and the fact that the front lens is embedded makes it impossible to dirty or worse rovinarla.rnPersonalmente the use, as well as a macro, also as a normal lens due to its length focale.rnOvviamente being designed as a macro in no hurry to put in fire for which for moving subjects it is slow and often inaccurate. |
 | sent on 26 Agosto 2015 Pros: All that. You can 'expect from a lens that is close to perfection Cons: for me nothing Opinion: Simply put, for me is' the best macro lens but defends itself perfectly even in landscapes, portraits do not say anything new just see the photos! With my D 7200 MF is the 'instant, rehearsed .rnIl price is not' little but I am so glad that I would have spent even more ', I know that the Sigma 105 macro will stop a lot' of time, this 60 mm, apart from the logical difference between the two objectives, and exceeding, tried with the ring flash METZ ... a blast !!! The objective is adjusted or the easy 'and speed', commands rnPer perfect safety and protection have only installed a UV filter but there mota distance between the lens and the latter, I do not know if eventually agrees. Do not hesitate to take it if you like the macro! |
 | sent on 21 Marzo 2014 Pros: Clear, definite, beautiful blurry and the color rendering. Cons: For a little macro 'forces, the better to focus manually. Autofocus a bit 'slow Opinion: This optical I love it. The use of a D7000 and the result is excellent even in macro mode. With the DX format gets a little 'more than a 90mm, so it overcomes the problem often raised by those who say that are best for macro lenses with longer focal length. I agree with others on the uselessness of the hood. It 'also nice to hold in hand, gives an idea of ??solidity that many other lenses do not have. Bought used the bay to 120 € as defective lens slightly dulled, was only to be cleaned. |
 | sent on 01 Dicembre 2013 Pros: very sharp solid construction excellent mechanical Cons: can only work on Nikon D90 3.5 af af a bit slow but the macro does not need Opinion: recommended as a purchase price excellent quality very sharp macro photos I bought it for my D90 and it gave me so much satisfaction do not even need the lens hood to the lens recessed very good for macro photos with special effects but also usable to make some panorana or portrait but its trump card is the macro final judgment to buy without delay |
 | sent on 26 Agosto 2013 Pros: Sharp, blurred extremely pleasant, robust Cons: AF very slow ... but I can not find a macro is a particularly serious breach Opinion: Taken a few years ago, I use it with fruit on DX especially to the pictures of my plants. rnMa also for non-macro (net of slow AF) lends itself very bene.rnrnPer macro insects perhaps go on to something longer (although judging by some photos that you see in here, I would say that you can use with huge fruit also for this purpose), but in each case the yield is absolutely excellent. rnrnCredo also know that the lens hood is totally useless (the front lens is very hemmed), and the price at which you can find in used, remains a lens with a very high value / prezzornrn |
 | sent on 08 Agosto 2013 Pros: Sufficiently compact and lightweight, with excellent performance over the entire range focusing fuoco.rnRapporto playback comes to 1:1. Cons: Nothing important Opinion: The use of cameras with FX format, so that, besides the use proper macro, may be used with satisfaction as optical "normal." The front lens is quite recessed, making it in my opinion unnecessary to use a lens hood (which would in any case purchased separately). No longer in production, can be found only on the used market, as in my case, and considering the average market price of this objective, it follows a high cost / beneficio.rn |
 | sent on 07 Agosto 2013 Pros: Sharp, with an excellent working distance in relation to the focal length. Cons: Focus sometimes uncertain even at non-macro distances. Opinion: In my opinion is one of the best choices to start with macro photography. Among the optical macroeconomic offers greater working distance and excellent sharpness on at a reasonable price especially in the used market. Allows dci illuminate the subject with a simple diffuser on the flash integrated in the car. Sometimes it is a bit 'cumbersome to switch between tele / macro fire manual / auto. |
