uzay_ki_i Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 <p>Hello All,<br> Maybe this is not a very clever thread but...<br> I just bought the Nikon 60mm f 2.8 AF G, (the nano coating one, whatever the newest one i mean)<br> I have few concerns<br> It's said that closest focus distance is 0.185m but i can focus closest than that, what does that mean?<br> I tried live wiev, tripod and manual focus but didn't like the results very much even though i recognized that the lens is very sharp, i mean there is something wrong with me, maybe i have too many things to learn about macrophotography (yes, i'm reading too many things but confused a little)<br> So could you please show me your best photo taken with that lens?<br> Regards</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjørn rørslett Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 <p>Focused distance is *always* from film plane to subject. You confuse this with the free working distance (front of lens to subject).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
