Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for close-up shots, copy work, and general photography, the Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S lens is optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both Nikon FX format and DX format image sensors. The lens is equipped with an exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) that enables accurate, quiet, high-speed autofocus operation. The lens's pair of aspherical elements, meanwhile, virtually eliminate coma and other types of aberration even at the widest aperture. Add in an extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass element--which effectively minimizes chromatic aberration--and your photos will enjoy superior sharpness and color correction regardless of the subject. Other details include an internal focusing (IF) design that enables the use of polarizers and speed-light systems; a Nano Crystal Coat that virtually eliminates reflections across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image integrity; a Super Integrated Coating (SIC) that substantially reduces ghosting and flare; a rounded nine-blade diaphragm that makes out-of-focus image elements appear more natural; and a M/A focus mode that allows you to quickly transition between autofocus and manual operation.

I love this lens. I had wanted a close-up lens for quite some time, but they are exspensive. I fanally took the plunge, and you always wonder if it will live up to your expectations. Well, this product does that. It works great for close-ups, but also for general scenery and especially portraits. I can not say enough about the service I received in terms of shipping. It was shipped out right away and I was able to take it on vacation. I felt comfortable with the integrity of the seller. In short, a good experience all around.
Very pleased with purchase... May 23, 2010

I have been planning on buying this lens for some time and it was well worth the wait. See the other reviews for all the tech speak. Check out the images uploaded by the owners for the proof.

I just love this lens! I sell a lot online and getting up close, detailed pictures of products is always a challenge. This lens made it easy!!!! Fabulous!!! I am astounded how wonderful my products look! I use it with my Nikon D80.
The only negative (which is really not a negative since I don't use it!) is that the auto focus is too slow and sometimes cannot find a focal point (just keeps zooming in and out). Just shoot with manual focus, which is really what you want to do anyway with a micro lens.
One of the best value in Nikon lenses March 29, 2010

Received this lens 2 days after ordering from Amazon. This lens did not disappoint me. It is very very sharp. It passed my own AF focus test easily and the AF is very accurate. I didn't compare the AF speed with other lenses as this is a macro lens which typically has slower AF when comparing to other normal (non-macro) lenses.
This little gem has the best technologies Nikon offers currently: Silent Wave motor, AFS, IF (internal focusing), ED Glass, 9-blade rounded diaphragm, and Nano coating. To my knowledge, there is no other Nikon lenses that sell for less and still have all these technologies. The only thing it missed is VR which will make it "perfect".
In additon to very sharp, I also like the background blurry a lot. The lens is very light when comparing to the Nikon 105 VR. This makes it very usable for hand-held close-ups which is the purpose I bought it for.
I'd recommend this lens to anyone who look for a macro lens with a different prospective (than 105 VR) with a Nikon FF camera. You should also consider this lens if you are thinking to get a standard lens (like 50mm f1.4). This lens can focus from a few inches all the way to infinite while normal lenses requires a minimum focus distance of 2-3 feet or more. Also macro lenses are typically sharper than non-macro lenses.

Just finished processing the first major batch of images shot with this lens. The color is so vivid and brilliant. The blurry background is so beautiful. The lens is a gem. Highly recommended.

I tested the AF today. The AF for this lens is actually very fast. Compare to my other lenses, AF speed for subject great than 2 feet, this lens AF faster than 85 f1.4 and my Sigma 50 f1.4. So I would not say it's slow AF any more.
The more I used it, the more I like it. The images are very sharp.
I also think this lens is a great value considering its great IQ and price.
