Can I use the Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Macro Lens with Nikon D80 body?
As stated, is the lens and camera compatible? Any special setting need to accompany it?
It will fit and work 100% with the Nikon D80
Of course you can. There are very few F mount lenses that won't work with the D80, and the ones that cause problems are old manual lenses.
Yes it will work.
However, I prefer a slightly longer lens for macro, even on a DX camera. A longer lens will allow you to stay a bit further back from the subject. This can be important for photographing bugs as you can scare them off if you are too close.
I looked at the 60mm lens when I bought my macro; I ended up with a Tokina 100mm f/2.8 macro. It's around the same price as the Nikon, but I think it is a bit nicer.
