Nikon 60mm f/2.8 AF-S Micro-Nikkor lens
(Retails for over R6000 brand new!)
It's ideal for macro photography (flowers, insects, etc), copy work, and general photography, its a great portrait lens too. The Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED AF-S lens is optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both Nikon FX format and DX format image sensors. The lens is equipped with an exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) that enables accurate, quiet, high-speed autofocus operation. The lens's pair of aspherical elements, meanwhile, virtually eliminate coma and other types of aberration even at the widest aperture. Add in an extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass element--which effectively minimizes chromatic aberration--and your photos will enjoy superior sharpness and color correction regardless of the subject. Other details include an internal focusing (IF) design that enables the use of polarizers and speed-light systems; a Nano Crystal Coat that virtually eliminates reflections across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image integrity; a Super Integrated Coating (SIC) that substantially reduces ghosting and flare; a rounded nine-blade diaphragm that makes out-of-focus image elements appear more natural; and a M/A focus mode that allows you to quickly transition between autofocus and manual operation.
This Nikon 60mm micro AF-S lens works perfectly with every Nikon DX and FX digital SLR (even the entry level D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D5000 etc.) It also works perfectly with any but the very cheapest or oldest Nikon AF film cameras.
I bought this lens locally in January 2009 from the "Outdoorphotoshop". It is still under warranty. I will provide a copy of the original invoice for your peace of mind. It is in perfect condition (like new) and has been used with a Kenko Pro UV filter from day one. I have the original box and packaging material, pouch, and manual.
The only reason I am selling this, is that I have just purchased the Nikon 105mm micro VR lens.
