- I can see why nearly EVERY seasoned Photographer suggested this lens. After one image sample from using one, I was SOLD on it at my local camera store. If you have one, please comment below!

It seems every time I'm researching lenses or a camera I find you doing a review on it. And let me tell you, I'm loving it each time I see them, I trust your reviews more than others. I'm buying this lens next and I'm feeling that this is going to be the lens that expresses who I am as a photographer.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words :)
I've had this lens for many years and have been extremely happy with it. The sharpness is amazing and while I also own the 105mm micro, this remains one of my best and favorite Nikon lenses.
Oh! I have to get my hands on the 105 macro! Thanks for sharing!
I used to own this lens and it was sharp.
It was a recommendation by Ken Wheeler (angry photographer) and he was right. Inexpensive and worth it even if you don't have screw auto focus. It was a fantastic lens for copying negs too.
Thanks for sharing!
WOW ! If Nikon have discontinued this lens then they needvyo put it back into production. Your photos are that good they will cause a surge in demand.
Haha! I hope it does go up in demand. It's such an under rated lens now. Especially since everyone wants the latest and greatest that is nearly 10x the price of this lens.
I use this lens with the Nikon Z7 for macro work. Super sharp, beautiful Bokeh.
Another nice video. The downside of the 60mm is you need to get very close and it can limit light source. Have you tried the 105mm 2.8m? It gives you a little more room to work. Try that 60mm on flowers with your D700 or D3, spectacular colors.
Keep up the videos.
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words.
I haven't tried the 105 2.8. But I think after the 60, I will be :)
I've taken some amazing shots of aerospace gears with this lens using long exposures (like 2 minutes) at f32 and a desk lamp....It actually captured the thin edge of the heat treated periphery of the gear tooth on a D7000.....so I bough one for myself. : )
Awesome video, straight to the point and clear cut. Definitely going to be grabbing this lens after seeing this. Felt bored with my current gear and maybe trying some macro will open my horizons a bit.
Saw your comment and threw it on my camera and it is a VERY fun lens to play with. I think everyone should have a Macro lens to really play around with their photography.
It's like a Swiss Army lens....I use it for everything you talked about. Use it on my D700 too.
Excellent! Seriously, I should have jumped on this lens MUCH sooner.
It's a great portrait lens. Super sharp, and has great micro contrast.
Totally agree with you. I really did not think it would be a good portrait lens until I used it :) Thank you for sharing.
So how do you focus it on nikon D 3300? Is it going to work or do I need to get the AS-F one?
You will need to get the AF-S version.
@@BoostLeekdMedia I figured!
Thanks!
Does it work with the Nikon D7100??
Yes, it does!
Nikon Micro Nikkors are not entry level lenses. They are super sharp, even wide open and with a flat field. This one needs the camera AF motor.
Got this lens in a boxed nikon d80 for £50 one happy chappie 😊
Whoa!! Nice purchase for sure!
That lens work on the nikon D80 😊
It does :) It's a nice lens on the D80!
So I have a question, for my nikon d3000 do I need a lens for the picture to look good or no??
Hard to say because it really depends on the style of photography you're doing. If you're doing portraits, I would lean on saying Yes. I would highly recommend getting a 50mm 1.8 lens (or this lens) to get improve image quality.
It's hard to say if an image will "look good or not" because I have seen amazing landscape images and portraits from the regular 18-55 lens. It just really falls on the photographer.
Great video, thank you. Will it work on a D3400?
It will mount on the D3400 but it will not autofocus on the D3400.
I have a strange issue, I have this lens and it works perfectly when set to S (Single Shot) mode on all modes (PSAM) but when I changed the dial to something such as QC/Q/Self Timer, the lens won't get recognised and gives me a FEE error only on P and S modes. It's been driving me crazy, does anyone have any ideas? I am using a Nikon D810
Hi
Does autofocus work on d5600?
This lens will not autofocus on the D5600.
The lens you are showing does not have the D suffix - so appears to be the non D old version ! Could you comment on this please ?
You are correct! The D and Non-D versions are optically the same. The only difference is the D version communicates focus distance info to the camera which helps can help calculate the power of your camera's flash or flash device. I've seen some examples from the D and non-D models and image quality-wise, it'd be extremely hard to tell the difference between the 2.
I got tamron 85 and sigma 35. I search for 50 1.8g and this lens same price. I want to ask about the chromatic aberration and sharpness of both lens in 2.8 and f4. I was used 50 1.8 for 1 month. I wonder should i take this lens or 50 1.8g . Potraits only, which one sharper
There are a lot of factors that can really effect sharpness. If you're doing portraits, the 50mm 1.8G does have the advantage because of the wider aperture. As for sharpness at F/2.8, I think the 60mm F/2.8 is just a bit sharper at that aperture. BUT, like I said earlier, there are a lot of factors to getting sharp images as well, especially for portraits.
Why are you calling it an Entry Level lens?
that jewelry shot is pretty crappy.. my olympus tg5 is doing better shots.. the light is so so wrong as well..
