More Information on this brilliant lens:
Specifications
Name: Nikon calls this the Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D.
Focal Length: 60mm. Used on a DX camera it gives an angle of view similar to what a 90mm lens would give on an FX or 35mm film camera. See also Crop Factor.
Optics: 8 elements in 7 groups. Close-range-correction (CRC). Multicoated.
Diaphragm: 7 conventional straight blades, stopping down to f/32 at infinity. Stops down to f/57 at 1:1.
Hard Infinity-Focus Stop? Yes.
Close Focus: 8.62" (0.219m). This is the distance to the image plane (the back of the camera).
Working Distance: I measure only 2-7/8" (73mm) at 1:1. Nikon specifies 3.56" (90.4mm). This is how close the front of the lens is to the subject at the closest focusing distance, and why I don't suggest 60mm micro lenses. A 105mm gives you enough room to work and not block your light.
Control Surfaces, Nikon 60mm AF-D.
Focus Range Limiter? Yes. Limits close focus to 1 foot (0.3m), or limits far focus to 10" (0.26m).
Maximum Reproduction Ratio: 1:1.
Focus Distance Scale? Yes.
Depth-of Field Scale? Only for f/16 and f/32 .
Infra-Red Focus Index? No.
Filter Thread: 62mm, doesn't rotate with focusing.
Size: 2.943" extension from flange by 2.851" diameter (74.76 x 72.41mm) when focused at infinity. It extends to a total of 3.908" (99.26mm) extension from flange when focused at 1:1. Nikon specifies 2.9" extension from flange (focused at infinity) x 2.8" diameter (74.5 x 70mm).
Weight: 15.780 oz. (447.35g) measured. Nikon specifies 15.5 oz. (440g).
Case: CL-32S or CL-0815 pouch, both optional.
Hood: HN-22 metal screw-in hood, optional. It's completely unnecessary: the optics recess deeply into the barrel at normal distances, and at close distances a hood would get in the way of the subject.
Nikon Product Number: 1987, in catalog as of spring 2008.
Introduced: 1989 as a non-D lens; today's D lens has been sold since 1993.
Price: about $399 US in 2008.
