Product Description

The Nikon AF Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D is a revered standard macro lens, celebrated for its exceptional sharpness, accurate color rendition, and versatility, making it a favorite for extreme close-up work and general photography alike. Designed for Nikon F-mount cameras, this lens is capable of achieving a true 1:1 life-size reproduction ratio at its closest focus distance, allowing photographers to capture intricate details of subjects like insects, currency, and jewelry with stunning clarity. Its optical design is meticulously engineered to provide sharp, flat-field performance from infinity all the way down to its minimum focus distance, ensuring distortion-free image quality across a wide range of shooting applications.

As an AF-D type lens, it is equipped with a distance information chip that transmits subject distance data to the camera's body for enhanced flash metering accuracy (3D Matrix Metering). Its fast f/2.8 maximum aperture is ideal for low-light macro shooting and allows for excellent control over shallow depth of field, which is often used to isolate macro subjects from distracting backgrounds. Beyond macro work, the 60mm focal length acts as an excellent, sharp standard lens on full-frame cameras and a slight telephoto for portraits on APS-C (DX) format bodies, further enhancing its utility as a highly versatile optic.
