📷 Nikon 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor Lens AIS IMP: Professional-Quality Macro Photography at Its Finest Review

A phenomenal lens in every way. Tested and proven in decades of shooting by thousands of photographers around the world. It should be obvious, but this lens is manual focus ONLY.

My x-t2 only focuses on subjects under 18". No focus at infinity. I use it with the new Fotodiox adapter and the new Gobe adapter. So 2 adapters and a lens don't focus either. Looks like I'll be returning the lens and adapters. Neither Focus Assist nor Focus Peaking will work with this combination. Focusing aid and profit work with Fuji lenses. I had high hopes for using vintage Nikkor glass on my x-t2. OK. To update. The lens was returned, the money was refunded. Very easy. Many Thanks

But even if there are a few scratches, as I said, they are hardly noticeable on the objects I photograph. And I'm not complaining about the acceptable…

I've had this lens before; However, I mainly used it for duplicating slides. In that respect it was excellent. I used newer macro lenses with longer focal lengths; and admittedly they cost more than the extra money required to buy these new lens/optics designs. However, the limited full functionality of this lens with current cameras is the only real downside. I had the opportunity to use it again; and I have to say it's better than I thought. In the past, photographers bought premium macro…
