Pros: Really Sharp, Solid Construction, Price

Cons: None.....maybe AF Speed

Opinion: Just a good Macrolens. The Sharpness is awesome,and de AF is ok as well. For me, the 105er is a bit to long and calls almost a Stativ, so im really happy with that 60er Glass. Very well constructed, dreamful Blurreffect....and the Haptic feels good. On my Nikons 750 & 810 that Lens makes a great Job. Distortion are very less, and Colors are usefull.

Pros: Light, obviously sharp all over the field, excellent blur

Cons: Leaks slightly on the edges at "infinity", collects fine dust

Opinion: I had three, as often happens to me with the lenses I try... I buy them, I sell them and then I regret them and buy them again. Let's say that it is a very good lens on all aspects, among all three specimens this is the one that has no internal dust, it is a defect that I found probably due to the internal motor that attracts it, it is however irrelevant because it is very fine and you can see it under a microscope or almost, I am very mythical. The lens deserves a grade of 9 because it is sharp, handy, silent and with a precise autofocus. Suitable for macros of flowers and insects that are not particularly lively and fearful given the minimum distance of maf. but above all my use is in still life where distortion is absent.

Pros: Definition both at short distances and at infinity. High microcontrast.

Cons: Noticeable chromatic aberration and vignetting.

Opinion: For about 10 years now, I've been using this lens as an all-rounder on full-frame nikon. Macro (flowers), landscape, portrait set. Really excellent. I had the opportunity to use both the first version made in Japan and the second version made in Thailand: no construction differences, same merits (many) and same defects (few). I use this lens for more than 80% of the shots. It outclasses previous micro nikkors of the same focal length (60/2.8 AF and 55/2.8 ais) both at close range and at infinity. I consider the 60 mm focal length more suitable for portraits than the 50 mm, which in the past I have used as a standard lens (it is certainly no coincidence that Nikon has produced a 58/1.4 for portrait and not a 50 mm). Vignetting evident at TA, but still a little visible at f4: no problem in macro and landscape photography, where narrow apertures are used; Some problems in portraiture, but not for those who, like myself, do not disdain the vintage effect of vignetting in half-length portraits. The only problem is the chromatic aberration, especially (but not only) at TA, which I found a bit annoying. But you can't have everything at a low price. To build apochromatic optics, it is necessary to expect a much higher cost. For me, the lack of image stabilizer is not a problem, which I find useless on a lens designed for macro photography. When I use it for portrait in low light I increase the ISO sensitivity (on d700 and d4 you don't notice much difference if you shoot at ISO 200 or ISO 1200). On rides that require attention to the overall weight of the equipment, I combine it with the 28/2.8 ais and the 85/1.8 AFS: three excellent lenses in one kilogram. Rating:9/10. Highly recommended.

Pros: Sharpness, value for money, colors, weight, construction.

Cons: Absent VR, focal length

Opinion: I purchased the 60ino several months ago from an authorized dealer. I was in doubt between the 60mm, the 85 mm and of course the 105 mm with the VR, but for economic reasons it goes without saying that the choice fell on the first, from which however I expected much coming from a bridge Nikon that also allowed me to make macro enough pushes. After I took him home I mounted it on a D5500, which then stretches the focal, and I started to do the tests. Before understanding the operation of the MAF, cause inexperience, it's been a long time, but in the end I managed to master the lens quite well and, after the first shots of the Lego characters, I turned to the garden at home. As a result of countless focus tests, I managed to immortate a grasshopper that had rested on a flower, and the biggest surprise were the colors, then the surgical focus, and finally the sharpness that it is difficult to lose even by cropping (if the F OTO is well made). The hood is not a splendid invoice, but I rarely use it and sometimes I pay the consequences, since the lens gets thicker; So, beyond the quality of the material, I highly recommend the use. On the contrary the real lens gives the feel a feeling of absolute reliability and the weight, I dare say, is ridiculous. The AF goes to days. For certain outputs decides to take the holidays and can not hang anything, while other times, even with moving subjects, is able to react well to situations and, taking many shots, brings home the result. Manual focus is always recommended, especially when shooting at stationary subjects. Sometimes the focal length is a great limit, especially for bees or vespas or dragonflies, very difficult to approach because very fast. The butterflies just take them from behind and don't get noticed. If they had put the VR, I think rightly the price would be leavened a lot. Without the reduction of vibrations is very difficult to shoot in more or less adverse conditions of light, you have to lean on the ground or knees to keep it steady as much as possible, but often the move is not able to avoid. The tripod, yes, is useful for making nocturnal landscapes with long times or flowers or plants, but in my opinion is to say the least cumbersome to follow with the tripod a well-vispo insect, which has very fast reaction times. It doesn't mean that it is impossible to photograph an ant or a dragonfly well, because it only takes time and luck. In short, I recommend, rated 9, MAF spectacular, excellent sharpness, colors, price. But also give an eye to your intentions, because the VR could be a nice obstacle.

Pros: Sharpness, low weight, ergonomics, hellish focus.

Cons: The lens hood doesn't make me crazy...

Opinion: It is a lens born and conceived for macro, but the focus is quite fast and I also use it for my studio portraits, the modern portraits need more detail than in the past and the macro lenses like this are great for this purpose. The bokeh is really nice and not having pretty much a minimum focus in a portrait I can even get close to it maybe to take a detail of an eye or during a trick. In short, one of my favorite lenses for quality and versatility, I never leave it at home..
