The Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 60mm F2.8G ED is a small, compact macro lens designed for use with Nikon's FX (full-frame) and DX (APS-C) DSLRs. An update to the venerable Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm F2.8D, the new lens adds two aspherical elements to control aberrations, a Silent Wave Motor for quiet autofocus with all current Nikon bodies, an ED glass lens element and Nano Crystal Coating for improved flare resistance. Unlike its predecessor, the new 60mm does not increase in length when focusing - a real benefit for some macro applications.
