What use would this lens be to my Nikon D60? As in advantage wise?

Well if it's windy and you need a paper weight to hold down the pages of your D60 instruction manual, this would come in handy.

No advantage to you.

I'm always amazed at the extent marketing people go to describing nothing more than a cheap lens filter to make it sound like something you really need to add to your camera system

This is a filter that sells for under $25 and costs about $3 to make.

So, now that you know that it is NOT a telephoto lens and hopefully have visited the Nikon website to see what a 105 mm lens actually costs, you understand that this "lens" is just a toy.

If you are planning on adding it to your 18-55 mm lens, make sure that you buy the one with a 52 mm thread.

What you need to know

* Polaroid went out of business around 2008 and sold their brand name to a company with an unknown reputation.
* The term, "High Definition" only refers to video and produces video using a 1 mp sensor
* Studio? This usually refers to camera gear found in actual studios like $40,000 Hasselblads or top of the line Nikon and Canon full frame cameras
* Telephoto lens is one that replaces the lens on your camera. Think of removing the lens on your D60 and replacing it with a 300 mm telephoto lens.

Here is a link to all the lenses Nikon makes. As you will see, there are NO $25 "lenses" anywhere to be found.

Do NOT be fooled by products sold for under $50, yet use the name of companies which made high quality products in the far past, using buzz words to get you to spend your money. Polaroid, Vivitar and others have sold their trademarks when they went out of business. Rollei recently closed their doors so I suspect that in the next few years someone will buy their trademark and start selling low quality camera gear.
