Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8

Nikon AF Micro Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 is a compact F-mount macro lens with a classic 55mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture. Built for close-up work, it offers autofocus and full-frame coverage, making it a capable choice for detailed product, copy and field macro photography as well as everyday short-telephoto use on Nikon film and full-frame DSLR bodies. The lens is well regarded for its sharpness, natural rendering and straightforward handling, and its modest size makes it easy to carry compared with longer macro options. On compatible Nikon bodies it uses screw-drive AF, so autofocus speed is not especially fast, but for macro shooting it is usually more than adequate. Like many older Micro-Nikkors, it rewards careful focusing and delivers its best results stopped down a little for depth of field. Used buyers should check that autofocus engages properly, the focus ring turns smoothly, aperture blades are clean and snappy, and the front and rear elements are free from haze, fungus or cleaning marks. Also inspect the filter thread, mount and close-focus mechanics for wear or stiffness.
