Nice lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Enjoying every minute using this lens. I didn't think it would be a heavy lens considering its dimensions so I'd suggest using a tripod. Watch out bugs...here I come!!!!

a real bargain lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lightweight lens, sharp, low/no distortion, at a bargain price. This is my walk around lens, sharp as a 50mm normal lens without distortion - another advantage is the 10mm of extra reach and its close focus capability is useful for copy work or an occasional close-up.

Love this lens for Macro photos.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm just getting into Macro photography. It's really fun to catch a Butterfly on a flower. This lens is great as far as bokeh is concerned. Everything is blurred but the subject. I'm thrilled that i made this purchase.

Outstanding Lens!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this lens-it is my favorite, thus far!!! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful macro or micro lens, and it is also wonderful for portraits. However, do not be fooled by the "VR" that Best Buy has added to the description...it's not there. Not that it is needed, but buyer beware.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Short reach, Touchy focusing

Sharp pictures
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this lens last year as an introduction lens for macro photography and to give me something to play with around the lawn and garden. It has crisp pictures but I find focusing to be a little touchy. I'm having to learn to be a little more patient with Macro photography as getting depth of field seems to tougher than with landscape photography. Overall a great lens but wish I'd have purchased one with a little longer reach. This lens requires you to get VERY close to your subject.

Up Close and Personal
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I couldn't wait to try this lens,so i attached a few examples, it takes some getting use to, but well woth the money, you have to start off farther away and slowly move in until the desired picture is in focus. But over all it is a great lens and will help you accomplish what you are looking for in the macro field. This is only the beginning and i have a whole world to explore with it.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Close ups, Sharp
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very Nice Lens for your money
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a good lens for close ups and this lens is it. I have never had a lens that was this sharp. If you like to take very close photos this is the lens for you.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with the D3200? I'm trying to find a macro lens for this camera but none of them seem to be specifically compatible with this model.
Asked by Teresa.
- A:Answer Yes,the Nikon D3200 DSLR camera is fully compatible with AF-S type lenses like the Nikon AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED Macro lens listed here. Additionally, it can also use AF-type lenses; however, these type of lenses will need to be manually focused, as this model camera does not have a focus motor.
