Nikon 60mm f2.8 D AF Micro Nikkor Lens

Nikon's most compact Micro lens for close-up and general photography. Features include: Close-up photography down to approximately 0.22m/0.6 ft, Close-Range Correction (CRC) system provides high performance at both near and far focusing distances, Nikon Super Integrated Coating for minimised flare and ghost, providing good colour balance, and a 90.4mm working distance.

The Key Features

• Versatile lens for macro photography
• Close range correction (CRC)
• Close-up to approx 22cm (1:1 reproduction ratio)
• Bright F2.8 aperture

Compatibility:
The Nikon D40 and D40x camera bodies will not autofocus with this lens and will only work with Nikon's AF-S lenses.

'D' Distance information
D-type and G-type NIKKOR lenses relay subject-to-camera distance information to AF Nikon camera bodies. This then makes possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash. Note: D-type and G-type NIKKOR lenses provide distance information to the following cameras: Auto exposure; F6, F5, F100, F90X, F80, F75, F70, F65, F60, F55, F50, PRONEA S, PRONEA 600i, D2 series, D1 series, D100 and D70s/D70. Flash control; F6, F5, F100, F90X, F80, F75, F70, D2 series, D1 series, D100 and D70s/D70.

'SIC' Nikon Super Integrated Coating ensures exceptional performance
To enhance the performance of its optical lens elements, Nikon employs an exclusive multilayer lens coating that helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level. Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction. Nikon Super Integrated Coating is especially effective for lenses with a large number of elements, like our Zoom-NIKKOR lenses. Also, Nikon's multilayer coating process is tailored to the design of each particular lens. The number of coatings applied to each lens element is carefully calculated to match the lens type and glass used, and also to assure the uniform color balance that characterizes NIKKOR lenses. This results in lenses that meet much higher standards than the rest of the industry.

'CRC' Close-Range Correction system
The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations, for it provides superior picture quality at close focusing distances and increases the focusing range. With CRC, the lens elements are configured in a 'floating element' design wherein each lens group moves independently to achieve focusing. This ensures superior lens performance even when shooting at close distances. The CRC system is used in fisheye, wideangle, Micro, and selected medium telephoto NIKKOR lenses.

'A/M' mode (autofocus with manual override, AF priority mode)
An 'autofocus-priority autofocus' mode that reduces the sensitivity of the manual override to prevent unexpected switching from auto to manual.
