Works with
- Nikon F-mount full-frame (FX) DSLRs with in-body AF motor (D7xxx, D8xx, pro bodies)

- Nikon DX (APS-C) DSLRs (90mm equivalent - a useful short macro/portrait); entry-level DX bodies will be manual-focus only
Best for
Equally useful for macro subjects (small products, jewellery, insects, document copy) and for portraits or general photography. On a DX body it becomes a 90mm equivalent - a useful short telephoto. Requires a Nikon DSLR with an in-body AF motor for autofocus. Superseded by the 60mm f/2.8G AF-S version in 2008.
Frequently asked questions
Is it true 1:1 macro?
Yes. 1:1 (life-size) maximum magnification at the 0.219m minimum focus distance.
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
No. This lens uses screw-drive autofocus and requires a Nikon body with an in-body AF motor (D7xxx, D8xx or pro bodies, or older film SLRs). On entry-level bodies it can be used in manual focus only.
