p.1 #1 · 60mm afs macro, lense fantastic.

Latest macro/ prime is just a taste of things to come in Nikon prime line up. Resolution and contrast, bokeh and color, this lense has got it. I love my 16-85 vr, the sharpet zoom with features to spare ( like shooting at 0.6 seconds hand held in a dark museum ) but images from this lense clearly distinguish themselves. Super portrait lense as well. A few shots here.

Shot wide open.

A few flowers at various apertures.

Ouch! I cut myself on these they are so sharp! I think you are going to enjoy this lens! I agree with all of the above attributes...color, bokeh, etc...

Nice stuff. I am curious to see how it performs side by side with the Nikon 50mm F1.4.

No comp, in a class by itself. Future prime releases sure.

Be careful using it as a portrait lens unless you're prepared to use a little Gaussian blur to smooth out the pores.

Thats what makeup is for, any way you can dial in blurr but fine detail?
