[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.
