I actually walked into my local camera store with every intention of getting the newer Micro 85mm 3.5 VR, but actually had to prove to the staff that it even existed, so needless to say, I didn't even get to touch it. Must have been Gods will.
- Tack sharp at all apertures; - AF override compared to other brands; - quick; silent; internal focusing; - accurate colors; - Nano coating...apparently that's good; - includes hood; - minimal focus distance at around 2" away; - 9 blades for great backgrounds; - Nice solid build; no shaking parts
- Pricey; I did also pay the premium of getting it in store rather then getting if from Adorama; Gotta support the local stores once in a while, - Heavy...unless you like it that way like I do, - Some may scoff at the lack of a limit switch, - 60mm means getting real close to your subject.
I sold my Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens in order to afford swapping to this Nikkor. The difference in focal length is negligible in practical use, but having the close focusing ability adds so much more to my kit. Focus is sharp from edge to edge, and the colors are true to rest of Nikons lens line.
like one of the previous reviewers i have been using the 105mm micro for some time and love it! but sometimes it's not enough to move the camera back to fit everything into frame (something made easier for me by using the manfrotto macro focusing rail) with the slightly longer lens and i finally...
Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Sharp Focus
Amazingly sharp lens, and as others have said you do need to get very close when using on a full frame. I sold it in the end and brought a 105mm macro, i loved this lens on my crop sensor.
At 90mm equivalent, it also doubles as a half-decent portrait lens on DX bodies. The images it produces are as sharp as you could ever want, and it is just perfect for subjects that don't move much such as flowers or bees that are occupied with them.
This lens is super sharp and lightweight. I typically use it for macro photography but is also a great portrait lens. I've had great results when paired with my SB-700 for close up shots of bugs and flowers. You can't go wrong with this lens.
this is a beautiful lense, the micro (macro) looks great even in lower light situations. on a dx format camera (90mm equivalant) it is a sharp clean portrait lens. nice speed on the auto-focus.
This is a very good lens length, it is very easy to hand hold and hand hold still. It is probably the best Nikkor macro of this range, I have owned the 55 mm 3.5 non-Ai, the 55mm 2.8 AIs and the 60mm 2.8 AF-d....all have been very good this one tops them.
This is the latest model for 60mm f2.8 macro lens from Nikon. This new model focuses much faster with AF-S. It is already very sharp wide open all the way to f16. In addition, the lens also yields very sharp image for shooting a distant object, a big improvement from the older model.
Very sharp from f2.8 to f16; fast and quiet focus
