Went out on a date with my wife to Paddington House of Pancakes at The Curve on Christmas Eve. Decided to take the AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED lens for a spin. Was interested to test some low light capabilities. The images below are some samples taken during the outing and I took the liberty of leaving the exif intact for the food shots. The only post processing done for the images below were levels and curves on Capture NX 2.
You’d be surprise that some of the images ISO were as high as 6400 and produce usable results with fantastic details. The 60mm on a FX makes it an interesting portrait lens while on a DX you would be getting 90mm which would give it a tighter crop. The image below was taken with the AF-S Micro Nikkor 60mm f/2.8G ED lens on a D3.

Nice shots Braendan. I was in a huge dilemma last week, deciding which one to buy between the 60mm and 105mm VR. I almost bought the 60mm but in the end settled for the 105. Still can't believe how sharp that lens is.
ReplyDeleteThanks sean. Both lens are superb lenses and it can become difficult to choose between the two.
