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.

  • A 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.
