Shyt… I had to get the Newest Nikkor 60mm macro…

… and after the unexcited unboxing and a few tests… I LOVE IT!

For my own and for clients, I have to copy slides and negatives and
I thought I would be clear with my phenomenal 105 macro but the
minimum focus distance is too far. The solution is the 60mm macro.

I wonder if it shares its design with the old f2.8D.  That was the best macro lens I ever used on 35mm.  The Fuji I have now is close but that old D lens was amazing.

That I don't know yet!

I shot portraits in the open this morning — after the usual 
AF fine tune — this thing is "wondergreat"! :)

I call it the "60" but its pedigree name is:
AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm F2.8G ED (IF)
Minimum Focus Distance 0.60 ft. / 18.5cm
Approx. Weight 15 oz. / 425 g
