Hi! I have a Nikon D60 &amp; can't get the macro lens to work. It's a complete blurr and the camera won't allow me to take a picture. Any ideas?

have you tried putting the adapter on different lenses. It works on my Nikon d5100. did you get extremely close to the subject you are taking the picture of?

I just received one of these today. There is no autofocus on the D60 for this lens, so you have to set it on M. Also, if you want the aperature to be set by the camera, you must lock the aperature setting ring. I've only been playing with it for a few minutes, but I've noticed you cannot always open the aperature to f/2.8 using the camera controls; sometimes only f3.3.

I have the Nikon D7000 with the 60mm Macro lens and it works great. I do not have the D610.

I bought, then returned this camera. Look at the D3300 - a newer and better model. I suggest you try out the kit lens for macro shots before you purchase a specific macro lens.

The macro (wide angle) lens does not fit onto the camera directly but rather onto the end of the a set of lens. The macro comes with a conversion kit if certain sizes. If you are in the ownership of a d600 camera....I do not recommend this macro. I ended up returning mine due to a light ring that would appear. The glass inside refracts and reflects some light off of the inside body of the wide angle and then gives a semi halo affect. Other users have commented on this yet I still purchased them and returned immediately. Hope this helps.

Make sure the lens is switched to A or AF and not M. Make sure it is locked into the smallest (highest numerical) f-stop setting (some lenses have locks some do not and some don't even have a setting ring). Make sure the camera is set on AF and not M. Take a Q-tip and alcohol and clean the electrical contacts on the lens and on the camera. If nothing works buy another. I got perfect D50s and a D60 for under $250.

I thought the same thing... after looking at it closely, you have to unscrew the wide angle lens off the bottom piece, which then becomes your macro lens. Hope that helps !

I have the same lens bro and it went well.But you'll have to use the lens on its longest zoom (135mm) to get the macro effect.It's not a macro lens, but it's quite handy if you need to shoot a big closeup.

So this is a major concession in comparison with much less expensive cameras' focusing distances of one to two inches. Anyone with ideas as to why this is so. I used a Nikkormat with a Nikon macro lens for many years and have considered a Nikon digital body to allow continued use of the lens. Anyone with any thoughts on marrying such different technologies?

Hello, As far as we can tell there is no adapter available for this lens in order to shoot macro. Thank you for your interest, UsedPhotoPro

This lens does not have macro, or what Nikon labels "micro" focusing capability. I will say, though, that the 24-70/2.8 takes such beautiful images that it stays on my camera about 80-90% of the time. Check out the 105/2.8 "micro-Nikkor" lens for macro as well as good portrait alternative.

The Tamron 60mm macro lens absolutely can be used with Nikon DX sensor cameras. I used it on my D80 and now my D7000. Awesome lens, I definately recommend you add it to your lens kit.

Had the same issue with a Nikon d5100, but after a few tries it was resolved. Check the following:1- for some reason, the lens didn't fit in with the camera, but after trying a couple of times it finally clicked into position2- there is a ring near the lens (the left part of the product picture) that must be slide out for the lens to autofocus. After you slide it you'll see the AF appear from under the ring, beore that there is only MF ( manual focus) visibleAfter these two the lens worked perfectlyHope it helps

thats right now you have to put your phone close up to whatever it is you want to take a picture of. try it with a coin to see the quality of the macro lens

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be.I returned mine for a refund

Tamron told me there is a firmware update that must be installed to work well with the 70D. It was just developed about two months ago. Any lenses made before then will need the update installed. I just sent me lens to Tamron this week for them to update it. Up to this point I could only take a handful of pictures at a time before it brought up an error message telling me to clean the contacts on the lens or camera (can't remember the exact wording). I'm hoping all is well when I get the lens back this week.

I have not taken any macro photos with this lens. For me, it is basically a zoom telephoto lens and will not focus well on close-up items. When I have attempted to use it for close-ups, it continues to cycle and will not focus properly. As a telephoto zoom, it is great for sports photos and brings in long distance subjects clearly. I am sure there are other lenses that are better designed for macro use. John Craighill
