I purchased this lens with the Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens due to my love of macro photography. The 60mm produces sharp and crisp images at a 1:1 reproduction ratio which makes the world of macro photography superb. Nikon's exclusive Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, quiet autofocus operation which is great when you are not able to use a tripod. The Nano Crystal Coat and high-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating delivers superior color reproduction, while substantially reducing ghosting and flare. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus objects appear more natural which makes your photos appear more "real". If you have a digital darkroom this should spur the creative juices even more as you can take and develop your masterpieces within minutes.
I purchased the 60mm and the 105mm lenses due to the difference in focal lengths - while the 60mm will be used for studio work, the 105mm will be used for nature work. There is some hunting done at close range but it is quick to resolve and bring in the focus. If there is no shot to take it will do nothing until you are at the right distance from your subject. But you should familiarize yourself with the aspects of the lens than you will do fine. The bokeh is beautiful and creamy and it makes your photo feel like a work of art.
Overall well worth the money. Teamed this lens up on a D90 with a Nikon NC - 62mm Filter - for protection. An absolutely beautiful lens.

Just purchased this lens after debating focal length, etc among macro choices. Settled on this one because I use it for more than one purpose - macro of course, but also fine art reproduction. I need the shorter focal length to reduce working distance for large pieces of art.
The new Nano coating is perfect for the newer DSLRs - astonishing contrast and clarity. Very, very sharp and excellent color accuracy. Also lighter than its predecessors.
This can be a great all-around lens, pretty fast at f/2.8, completely flat and sharp to the corners. Highly recommended.

This is a superb optic, Nikon at it's best. Only thing lacking would be the addition of Vibration reduction. So far it is supplanting all my other lenses and is doing everything needed as an all around lens. Very sharp and not overly heavy .Well worth the dollars.

This is my first introduction to micro lenses world .I love the ability to take close-up shots. The 60mm lens takes crisp, sharp, and clean line exposures. Great lens! Highly Recommend as a good buy.

Pro's:
I really labored over purchasing this lens, as the Nikon 85mm f/3.5G AF-S DX ED VR Micro Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras was announced around the time I had bought this lens.
But I knew I wanted more working distance since I was going to use this lens on my D200 (DX body, so effective focal length 90mm); I also wanted something that would work on my N75 and have the ability to use with a D700/D3/D3x if I so chose to.
A recent Dec 2009 review from Popular Photography also supported my choice, titled "7 Versatile Pieces of Photo Gear":
The 60mm Macro Lens
For tremendous versatility in a single focal length, nothing beats a fast (f/2.8 or faster) 60mm macro lens, especially when you use it on a DSLR with an APS-C-sized sensor. It's tops for both fascinating close-ups and flattering portraits. A macro lens is a must to get in tight on a small object. And if your subject is round (like these cherries), a 60mm can help bring out the shape in ways that longer macros, which flatten the scene, cannot. Even better? Its typical close-focusing distance of 7-9 inches lets you adjust your subject while your eye remains glued to the viewfinder. But with portraits, you want to be farther away. The one here succeeds in part because the photographer's 60mm macro lens, used on her Nikon D200, scaled up to a 90mm equivalent--just about perfect for people pictures.
Regardless, this macro has been a joy to use, and it gives me several stops advantage over the "competing" 85 3.5 VR macro recently released. . .
Quick, silent focus, and excellent gold-stamped "N" construction round out the pluses!
Con's:
Odd length, doesn't really fit well with my small lens cases.
HEAVY for the size. But I like it (some may not).
Some hunting in low light and slow to focus from infinity to close, as expected of a macro though since they are made to be be finely adjusted.
Wish it had VR as I use it as a portrait lens sometimes.
P.S. I also use with the post-processing suiteDxO Optics Pro v5 Standard Edition(D200 + 60mm 2.8). Cleans up my shots and gives me a few-stop advantage in post processing!
