This is the workhorse macro lens for the Nikon F system: the Nikon AF MICRO NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8 D. It is a highly respected prime lens, celebrated by photographers for its exceptional sharpness, not only for macro work but also as a superb normal lens for general photography.

The lens achieves a 1:1 (life-size) reproduction ratio without the need for extension tubes, making it a true macro optic. Its Close Range Correction (CRC) system ensures high performance and consistent sharpness from infinity down to its closest focusing distance.

As an AF-D lens, it provides distance information to the camera body for accurate 3D Matrix Metering on compatible Nikon SLR bodies. On DX (APS-C) format cameras, it functions as a 90mm lens, making it an excellent compact macro/portrait combination.
