    Ideal for close-up shots, copy work, and general photography, 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.

    Pretty good; some chromatic aberration
    4 Stars
    Pretty good; some chromatic aberration
    I bought this as compromise between other lens that were considerably cheaper or more expensive, and this lens does feel like a "mid range" model. The level of detail and how close I'm able to get to my subjects is astonishing. If you're interested in macro photography, you'll be able to do some amazing work limited only by your imagination. The auto focus was quite fast compared to a 55-200mm Nikon lens I had on the camera earlier, though I use manual focus exclusively for the control it offers. The lens feels pleasantly heavy and sturdy. The motion and mechanics when focusing are smooth and relatively quiet.All that said, it's not without flaws. I notice green and purple chromatic aberration on a regular basis. It shows up especially in high contrast areas, but even when I make attempts to minimize it by changing lighting, I can still see faint traces of it. Fortunately Lightroom can remove most of the aberration. But I would suspect that if one bought the "next lens up", i.e. the more expensive one, you would not have as much of an issue.
