Nikon’s new 60mm lens featuring a built-in Silent Wave Motor
Shoot 1:1 life-size close-ups without the need for additional accessories. Nikon’s original state-of-the-art optical features and technologies are incorporated into the new 60mm NIKKOR lens to ensure superior picture quality at all subject distances from macro to infinity. Faster, smoother autofocusing is achieved through the Internal Focusing (IF) design, and two aspherical lenses correct spherical aberration and coma. Nikon’s exclusive Nano Crystal Coat dramatically reduces ghosting and flare caused by internal reflections. An additional ED glass element minimizes chromatic aberration to deliver higher resolution, high-contrast images while the rounded nine-blade diaphragm opening creates a substantially more natural appearance for out-of-focus background objects. These features contribute to the extremely accurate image reproduction capability of the AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED.
Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) is built into the body of the lens and ensures quiet, high-speed autofocus operation while contributing to the compact and lightweight design. Focus modes include M/A (Manual-priority Auto) which enables rapid switching between autofocus and manual focusing with virtually no lag time, even when the lens is in the process of focusing.
