The Travel Micro June 12, 2010
Paul S. Racicot
The Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras while not compatible with the cheaper Nikon digital cameras, is THE BEST TRAVEL MICRO NIKKOR PERIOD. I have the Nikon 200mm f/4.0D ED-IF AF Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras also, and I use it all the time when I'm at home. I also have the Nikon 105mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (135mm equivalent for DX) which I truly love for portraits because of the beautiful bokeh. I wish I could carry all these with me when I travel, but there's only so much you can lug around through airports all day. No you don't want to send your expensive lenses and cameras through the TSA baggage inspection systems. You'll want to have all your expensive glass in your possession at all times! Trust me on this. That's why I store all my expensive stuff in a Think Tank Urban Disguise 60, Plain Looking, Fully Functional Briefcase Size Shoulder Bag for Two Pro SLRs, Multiple Lenses & 17" Laptop camera bag when traveling. I also store my 17" Laptop in it. There is lots of room in this bag for two large zooms a digital body or two (depending on your packing skills.) Or one digital and three normally-sized travel zooms and the Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF. It's small enough and light enough to take with you on a trip.
What do you get when you bring the Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF? You get the legendary Nikon sharpness in a compact package. You have in the palm of your hand: a Nikon lens with impeccable specs, the measureless distortion, micro focus correction, bokeh, and matchless contrast, etc., but then you already knew that. This lens has all the technology and Zen mystique of it's bigger siblings without all the bulk and weight. If you love to take macro pictures when you travel, you NEED THIS LENS. Your shoulder won't miss the bigger siblings while you're slogging through airports.

Mr. Patreal L. Keilop (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I'm using my lens on a HD Film camera and the picture quality is great. It's so awesome that you can use a Nikon mount and attach a Nikon still lens to a Film camera. Brilliant, what more can I say.
A great close-up lens June 1, 2009
Amaranthus (Twin Falls, ID)
I bought this lens about seven months ago and wanted to get some use out of it before I wrote my review. This has been a great lens for macro photography work that I do. I have not had any problems with it and the lens quality is very good.
 Great Lens May 5, 2009

This lens is the BEST! I can get about 2 inches from my subject and still focus! the auto focus doesn't work with the Nikon D40 because it needs AF-S, but I am fine with using manual focus. Truly, I don't care about the inability to zoom. Overall a great lens.

In my bag of camera tricks, I have 3 prime lenses, and this lens is by far on my camera the most.
I shoot with a Nikon D80, and this lens compliments my camera very well. The macro is amazing, and ultra sharp; but I also love what it can do for portraits. I recently did some family portraits with this lens, and they turned out beautifully!
It might be pricey, but it is so worth it. I promise you wont be disappointed!
