Fantastic lens. Extremely sharp
This is my first lens that I bought after i got my D90 kit. Truly worth every penny. The lens is amazingly sharp. The DOF at f2.8 is so shallow that sometimes its hard to get everything in view. The bokeh is also nice and adds a beautiful effect to the photograph. Overall, totally worth to get this lens. Also works as a fantastic potrait lens. Only problem is it is extremely sensitive to "vibrations". Tripod use is highly recommended with this lens. OR get the slightly more expensive newer VR version.

GREAT LENSE
This lense is awesome, I am a novice photographer, just like to take picktures of bugs and flowers. I got this lense for this purpose and it was AMAZING. The sharpness was uncanny and the color was so vibrant, makes me look at every day objects and in a totally different way.

Super sharp lens for portraits & macro
This is the best non-zoom lens that i ever had; it is incredibly sharp for both portrait as well as macro photography, making it a very useful multi-purpose lens for any serious photographer

sharp and solid
This lens surprises. I thought that it might not have sufficient working distance, but that has not been a problem at all. The lens is sharp, and I find the focus speed surprisingly quick ( for a macro lens) and sure (also for a macro lens). I like its recessed front element and its solid build. I use a Nikon NC filter on the lens to keep the front clean, as the ridges there would make it difficult to get dirt out. I don't use a hood here because the front element is so deeply recessed.
The images I get are very sharp, and I like their quality. The lens isn't like a normal F2.8; the aperture varies in close focus, so you'll need to have good light for those close shots. If you do, you'll be amazed with the results.

Answer:
It will work and you can set the aperture but it should be done inside of the camera, not physically. Set the aperture on the orange number and adjust it in aperture priority or manual modes.May 31, 2011 by

Answer:
Yes, I had a first generation 60 AF and it works in all modes with a D3 that I had as well as my older D2x so it should work fine with your D700.Answer:
Yes, you can use this lens in the D700. You just need to set the lens in it's minimum number.

Answer:
It will fit on the D60. You will have to use manual focus because the D60 does not have a focus motor in-camera and the 60mm 2.8D is not a SWM lens. You should consider the AF-S model 60mm 2.8G as auto-focus will work fast and accurate and its not much more in cost.May 31, 2011 by

Answer:
Yes it fit but you will have no autofocus, not that it really matters having af if you are doing macro as most of the time you will use manual focus anyway.
I am thinking of purchasing the D3100 and would like to know if my Nikor AF Micro 60mm lens will work.

Yes it will work, having no af on the the D3100 is not really any problem as most times macro would be using manual focus.Answer:
it will work beautifully, but it will not autofocus. look for AF-S lenses if you want autofocus on your d3100 as that body lacks an internal motor, so the lens needs to have one.
Hi all. I just got a AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D and I've put it on my D5000 body. I've been impressed with the lens so far, but some of my shots were a bit overexposed, which prompted me to want to change the aperture size. There is an option to manually switch between different f-stops on the lens, but when I did this, the camera yelled at me saying that the manual setting must remain locked into f-stop = 32. I haven't fiddled around with it much yet, but after the camera's reprimand, I then assumed that the body of the camera would control aperture size (either automatically, or through my manual settings). Is this correct? Will the camera body control the f-stop, or will all my pictures be in f-stop = 32 with this lens/body combo? Thanks for any help!

Lock the lens at F/32 and let the camera control the aperture. The only time you would use the aperture ring would be on an older 35mm body, in other words an old film camera.Answer:
The aperture needs to be set on the camera body, that is why you need to keep the lens locked at the minimum aperture.Has staff answer

Is the AF-S 2.8 60mm lens worth the added cost?
I am thinking of buying a 2.8 60mm lens and am wondering if the increased cost to buy an AF-S lens is worth the added cost. I understand the AF-S is quieter and "smoother," but would I notice any difference in photo quality?

Yes it will.
Finally upgrading from the film era, manual focus cameras (FE2, FA), I'm not sure about the compatibility of autofocus lenses. I purchased a D7000 and I am wondering if this lens will work with this camera.

Where can I obtain a re-production of the manual / instruction sheet that comes with this lens new?
I followed the linkage on this page for "Product Manual" and have closely searched the list of all manuals on the link and cannot find any written material that I assume comes with the af micro nikkor 60mm f 2.8d lens when purchased new. Am I missing something on the linked page or are the written materials no longer provided by Nikon? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

This lens will not auto-focus on a D5100. The newer AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED will AF on a D5100.
