In this episode of Legends of Nikon we pay our respects to the AF Micro Nikkor Z 60mm f/2.8 D lens. A true legend among legends.

The Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D is a versatile and highly regarded macro lens, perfect for capturing stunning close-up shots with exceptional detail and clarity. This lens is a favorite among photographers who specialize in macro, portrait, and product photography due to its sharpness, color accuracy, and reliable performance.
Key features of the Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D include a 1:1 reproduction ratio, allowing photographers to capture life-size images of their subjects with intricate detail. The fast f/2.8 maximum aperture provides excellent low-light performance and enables beautiful background blur (bokeh), making it ideal for isolating subjects from their surroundings.
The optical construction of the lens comprises 8 elements in 7 groups, ensuring high resolution and contrast. The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system maintains image quality at both close and distant focusing distances. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.22 meters, this lens allows photographers to get incredibly close to their subjects, revealing details that are often invisible to the naked eye.
The Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D is compatible with both full-frame (FX) and APS-C (DX) Nikon DSLR cameras, offering versatility for different photography needs. Its compact and lightweight design, weighing only 440 grams, makes it easy to carry and handle, even during extended shooting sessions.
Autofocus is driven by the camera’s motor, providing quick and accurate focusing. For precise manual focus adjustments, the lens features a smooth and responsive focus ring. This is particularly beneficial for macro photography, where fine-tuning focus is often necessary.
The Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D is constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability. Its robust build quality makes it suitable for a variety of shooting conditions.
In summary, the Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 D is a high-performance macro lens that excels in close-up photography, delivering exceptional sharpness, color fidelity, and ease of use. Whether capturing the intricate beauty of nature, detailed product shots, or stunning portraits, this lens is a valuable addition to any photographer’s kit.

I'm ZWade the ZWade in ZWade Photo and I pride myself on having the most honest, no BS photography content on my channel where you can laugh, learn, consume photography in live photoshoots, get the latest news in informative yet comedic format, or maybe fill that itch to see a review for or watch before you buy photography tech such as cameras, lenses, and photography accessories.

𝑷𝑬𝑹𝑺𝑶𝑵𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀 𝑩𝑰𝑶
I've been shooting photography most of my adult life. It started with an on sale Nikon D3200 that wasn't even interested in using, all the way through being a photography business owner, teacher, and YouTube Photography Content Creator.
My favorite subjects are Human Portraits and Shallow Depth of Field with my specialty, or claim to fame if you will, being Dramatic Nude and Bodyscape. Over my many years of photography I've mastered many genres but I never stop learning and I don't want you to stop either. That's why I started my YouTube Channel in the year 2020. After a hiatus from photography, I picked up my camera again just in time for the Covid Pandemic. The world shut down. With more time than ever and no humans to photograph I found myself bored but motivated. ZWade Photo, the YouTube Channel, was born.
I have always been a Nikon brand photographer, but in my community on YouTube there is limitless room for Canon, Sony, Fuji, Leica, Hasselblad, Nikon, AND any other brand, photographers. Follow along as this channel one day grows into the biggest, most honest, and most fun photography community on the internet.

This is one of the greatest lenses ever made and probably the most underrated lens ever made.

[roybixby]

Love both the Nikon 60mm and 105mm AFD macro lenses ...🦘

[loihpatli]

Gotta add this one to my D-Era lenses wishlist, right after 180 f2.8

[bsc]

This must be my all-time favourite on my Zf body. I drag it along all the time for Industrial Exhibitions, it’s phenomenal as a portrait lens in BW. Cheers for sharing, Zwade.

[OriginalWatchcow]

This was one in our check-out pool i got spoiled with in the 90's. I found one in near mint condition several years ago at a pawn shop for just over $100. It's my second most-used prime, right behind an 85mm.

I've had a mint 55mm f2.8 Micro-Nikkor AIS for my Nikon F2 film kit so I never had a need for this lens but it sure looks fine!

[petey]

The original product spec said it was designed for "copy work" (slides and documents). It has a flat field so using this for slide or document copying is excellent

[Audimann]

Nikon legends yes. Maybe some videos about legends as the D4 and D3s?

[JRodPhotoArt]

I also have this lens, I will try and shoot some film with it, watch out !!!

[qegwyvy]

Don't have this one but do have the Tokina 100mm f2.8D. One of the better macro lenses for the F mount. Another would be the Zeiss 50mm f2 makro planar. So not a full makro because it goes to 1:2. But one of the sharpest 50mm lenses out there.

ZWAde ZEE Wade Photo!  
This was/ is a good lens, and my AF-S version is also quite good, and one of my favorite lenses.

[stargazingicarus]

Great lens, especially on DSLR, but difficult to use on Z cameras with manual focus, due to a relatevely short focus ring throw (on medium and longer distances, while for macro it’s fine)

[stevenwaldstein]

Just coming up to speed on Nikkor vintage lenses. Will the D lenses autofocus on F100 and F4 bodies? Those are the two AF bodies I bought mint and trying to find the best lenses to use on them. Thank you and take care.
