[QUOTE="Ranie, post: 12981, member: 2495"] Hi Tabaliah I understand your problem, and no, it's not your camera at fault. I also have a Nikon 60mm F2.8 Micro AF-D. First of all, how close are you on the subject when focusing? As you get closer focus, the effective aperture becomes smaller. This is normal for all macro lenses. In fact, I did submit a question to Nikon before about this concern and I still have their reply. "The camera's LCD shows progressively higher f-numbers as an AF Micro-Nikkor lens is focused closer because the optical elements inside are moving farther away from the camera so less light is reaching the film plane. The meter interprets this as a progressively smaller effective aperture, even though the actual aperture is not changing. This is normal with AF Micro-Nikkor lenses and does not indicate a malfunction." This also applies to AF-S Micro lenses. I hope I have enlightened you on your concern. [/QUOTE]
