The details
At a glance: 60mm f/2.8 1:1 FX macro prime - screw-drive AF, CRC optical system, full-frame coverage.
About this lens
The Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 is Nikon's long-serving 1:1 macro standard prime. First released in 1989 (D variant 1993), this is the screw-drive predecessor to the AF-S G version - fully capable at 1:1 reproduction, widely used for product, jewellery and close-up work.
Build & handling
| Maximum magnification | 1:1 (life-size) |
|---|---|
| Autofocus | Screw-drive AF (requires body with AF motor) |
| Image stabilisation | No |
| Minimum focus distance | 0.22m |
| Filter thread | 62mm |
| Weight | 440g |
| Construction | Close Range Correction (CRC) system for close-up performance |
Works with
- Nikon F-mount full-frame DSLRs with built-in AF motor (D750, D780, D810, D850, D6 and older pro bodies)
- Nikon F-mount APS-C DSLRs with AF motor (D500, D7x00 series - acts as ~90mm equivalent)
- Nikon Z mirrorless via FTZ/FTZ II adapter - manual focus only
- Not autofocusing on entry-level Nikons (D3xxx / D5xxx) - no in-body AF motor
Best for
A compact, sharp 1:1 macro prime on full-frame. Short working distance at life-size makes it best suited to inanimate subjects (product, jewellery, documents) rather than insects that need distance. Uses screw-drive AF, so it requires a Nikon body with a built-in autofocus motor.
Frequently asked questions
Is it true 1:1 macro?
Yes. 1:1 (life-size) maximum magnification at the 0.22m minimum focus distance.
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
No. This is a screw-drive AF lens and entry-level Nikon DSLRs don't have a built-in autofocus motor, so you'd be stuck with manual focus. For AF on those bodies you'd need the AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
