Nikon 60mm F/2.8G ED AF-S Micro

The Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro is a versatile lens for macro and general photography. Key features include:

• Excellent sharpness

• 7.3” minimum focusing distance

• Fast, nearly silent autofocus and full-time manual focus

An absolutely great lens that nobody talks about much. It’s sharp as a, well, as a macro. It’s small, light, and easy to carry around as a “just in case” lens. I personally prefer a bit longer working distance in a Macro, but on the other hand, I hate carrying a big Macro unless I know that’s what I’ll be shooting, so this is perfect. It also makes a nice portrait lens.
