[QUOTE="aroy, post: 585202, member: 16090"] I think that the Nikon 60mm has better optics and it focuses on a flat plane, unlike most lenses where the focus is on a curved plane. If you are going to shoot flat objects - stamps, coins or old photographs, then this is the lens to have. In case you have a lot of old negatives and slides, then this lens with an adapter from Nikon is all that you need. If your shots are predominantly of nature - flowers and insects then either lens will do. Here is link to DXO comparison, [URL]https://www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Compare/Side-by-side/Nikon-AF-Micro-Nikkor-60mm-F28D-on-Nikon-D3200-versus-Nikon-AF-S-Micro-NIKKOR-60mm-F28G-ED-on-Nikon-D3200-versus-Tamron-SP-AF60mm-F2-Di-II-LD-IF-Macro-11-Nikon-on-Nikon-D3200__984_801_812_801_495_801[/URL] The "D" version is the best, but you will have only Manual Focus on D3200 [/QUOTE]
