Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Micro review
? The AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens is engineered specifically for
extreme close-up photography, and perfectly suited for general imaging as
well. The new AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens can focus at a distance
of approximately 0.185m (.6 ft.) at its closest, and allows photographers
to capture breathtaking close-up photography with reproduction ratios up to
1:1 (life-size). The new AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens incorporates
a myriad of innovative features and technologies, including Nikon’s
Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM), Nano Crystal Coat, Extra Low Dispersion
(ED) glass and Internal Focusing (IF) design. Combined with the Silent Wave
Motor technology and Internal Focusing system, the AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm
f/2.8G ED-IF provides handling characteristics that better enable superior
close-up photography. The SWM provides fast, quiet and accurate autofocus
performance and Nikon?€™s Internal Focusing (IF) design further
enhances AF performance, while also allowing photographers to manually
focus quickly and smoothly. Internal Focusing (IF) also eliminates rotation
of the front lens element, making it more convenient to use rotating
polarizing filters as well as the Nikon Wireless Close-up Speedlight
System. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm opening allows out-of-focus
background or foreground scene information to appear more natural.
Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating
produce superior colour, while dramatically reducing ghosting and flare for
superior image quality. An additional (Extra-low Dispersion) ED glass
element minimizes chromatic aberration, allowing the lens to deliver
stunning, high-contrast images while the use of two aspherical lenses help
correct spherical aberration and coma, producing accurate image
reproduction even at the widest aperture.
Compact, versatile Micro-NIKKOR lens for close-up, copy work and general
Provides continuous autofocus from infinity to life-size (1:1 reproduction
ratio).
Exclusive Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables accurate, high-speed and
quiet autofocus operation.
Two aspherical elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens
aberration even at the widest aperture.
ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element offer superior sharpness and color
correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.
Internal Focusing (IF) design allows faster, smoother autofocusing and
eliminates barrel length changes for consistent handling?€”design also
eliminates front element rotation, enabling easier use of polarizers and
Nikon’s Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System.
Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat virtually eliminates internal reflections
across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image integrity.
Super Integrated Coating (SIC) delivers superior color performance, while
substantially reducing ghosting and flare.
Optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX-format (23.9 x
36mm) and DX-format image sensors.
Rounded 9-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image
elements.
M/A Focus Mode allows fast, smooth transitions, autofocus to manual
operation.
