Verdict

Released back in '93 the Micro-Nikkor AF 60mm f/2.8 D is a relatively old design but it can still deliver excellent results. The resolution figures are excellent and both vignetting and distortions are nothing to worry about. CAs are a little on the high side for a fix-focal lens though (correctable). The mechanical quality is very good and it's fun to handle the lens. A great macro lens and even a worthy replacement for a standard lens unless you require ultra-large aperture settings.
