Nikon AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED Standard Lens

The AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED from Nikon is a highly versatile micro lens that affords an incredible range of uses and applications. Uniquely engineered to be both compact and lightweight, this lens is an ideal choice for close-up and general photography. It sports a 1:1 reproduction ratio for life-size macro photography and a 7.3" minimum focus distance. When used on a DX-format DSLR, its 35mm focal length equivalence corresponds to a 90mm lens. The f/2.8 maximum aperture means you can capture stunning images even in low-light shooting situations. Incorporating Extra-Low dispersion glass elements with apsherical elements means that chromatic aberrations are kept to a minimum. Nano Crystal and Super Integrated lens coatings improve light transmission and reduce ghosting and flare. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and Internal Focusing (IF) system afford fast and quiet focusing action and the M/A mode switch with manual focus override enables fast access to critical focus, The nine-blade rounded diaphragm makes out-of-focus elements blend smoothly to produce natural-looking, harmonious backgrounds.

Nano Crystal Coat

Nano Crystal Coat eliminates internal lens element reflections, particularly flaring common in ultra-wide-angle lenses. Designed with multiple layers of Nikon's low refractive index coating, Nikon represents an industry leader in lens technology by employing this innovative lens coating technology for use in consumer optics.

Silent Wave Motor (SWM)

Nikon's Silent Wave Motor technology provides rapid auto-focusing while remaining exceedingly quiet and accurate. "Traveling Waves" are transformed into a rotational energy that focuses the optics.

M/A Mode

AF-S NIKKOR lenses include Nikon's proprietary M/A mode. This feature allows you to effortlessly switch from autofocus to manual operation with virtually no time lag. Regardless of the AF mode, you can simply and conveniently switch to manual focus even during AF servo operation.

Aspherical Design

Nikon's aspherical lens design creates a more complex surface profile. This helps to greatly reduce spherical and other optical aberrations. The design further ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focal range, while delivering incredible sharpness up to the periphery of the image.

Extra Low Dispersion (ED) 

Nikon's Low Dispersion technology is engineered to reduce chromatic aberrations, eliminating the tendency of light of different colors to focus to different points at the image plane. This means your images will come out crisp and clear, with less of a chance of defracting light into an unwanted rainbow of colors. Take shots exactly like you want, without any flare-up or blurring.

Internal Focusing (IF)

Nikon's Internal Focusing feature allows you to focus a lens without changing its size. With IF Lenses all optical movement is restricted to the interior of the lens barrel, providing for a lighter, more efficient design. Faster focusing is produced by a lighter and compact focusing lens group.

Super Integrated Coating

The Nikon anti-reflective coating is an optical design feature which ensures superior clarity and image brilliance, even in poor or unfavorable lighting conditions. Nikon applies the anti-reflective coating through a special process, layering the lens surface in order to substantially reduce unwanted flare or ghosting. This process helps to ensure incredibly rich image contrast and true color fidelity.
