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: 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..

Pros: Definition, color rendering, lightness and practicality of use

Cons: For certain uses macro is obviously a bit 'too "short and forces to get very close to the subject

Opinion: The great Nikon tradition of the 55 and 60 mm macro finds in this objective the most worthy heir. rnIt is a lens that can be kept as standard, but that occasionally shows off a grit in the macro that leaves really amazed, giving its best in the rendering of detail and colors.rnChi loves the macro lenses can not have this lens in its set, as ductile in its use as it is the personal characteristics of use: it is a lens that does not impose itself in use, but that adapts well to the characteristics of those who use it. rnSa reserve great satisfaction even with small subjects, provided you can approach them without disturbing them.rnI have collected some shots made with this goal: rnrnhttps: //www.flickr.com/photos/henry62/albums/72157663955699087

Pros: Robustness, PRO optics, sharpness

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I use this lens on Nikon D7000 and I use it mainly for portraits because I do not still run macro photography. Although used for other purposes other than macro, this optics adapts very well and can be considered a real all do, the only foresight is to lower the clarity to-30 when used in portraits in order to reduce a little ' the extreme Sharpness of the optics. I have promised myself to study the macro photography a little and then I will have the opportunity to test it in its specific field. Highly recommended in every point of view
