AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm lens?

I have never shot with a "non zoom" lens. (Forgive my terminology, I'm a beginner) Is it difficult to adjust? I want this lens because I'm into macro photography, bt never having shot with one of these lenses makes me a little nervous, and I don't want to spend money on something I will have difficulty using.

Any tips?
Or similar lens suggestions that "zoom" but are similar to the 60mm?

There's only one macro lens that zooms and that's a LOT more expensive. With macro the lack of zoom is not much of an issue.moving the camera back and forward will do just as much.

Macro is difficult to focus but it can be very rewarding. Personally I find 60mm too short for insects but it's fine for flowers and things like that.

A non-zoom lens is called a prime lens - no worries we all had to learn somewhere! The lens is an AF lens so will still autofocus for you - what it means is that instead of rotating the ring on the barrel (or moving in/out) to zoom, YOU move in & out (ie you zoom with your feet!). Same as with any prime (fixed focal length) lens.

Prime lenses tend to be a lot sharper than zooms (except for some high end expensive zooms), but they're not difficult to use. True macro (1:1) lenses tend to be primes - so-called macro zoom lenses don't give you life size (1:1) reproduction - they tend to be 1:3 or 1:4.

As for macro work, the shorter the focal length the shorter the working distance between the end of the lens and your subject - this can matter if you are trying to photography shy subjects like insects which will move away if the lens is too close. A 105mm macro will give you more distance.

For a lot of macro work a tripod is essential - any slight camera shake is really magnified by a macro lens and it's difficult to hold steady.

Macro lenses also make very good portrait & general lenses, so they're a good investment.

If you can afford a Nikon lens then go for a long focal Length macro they are more versatile. Look at the Nikon website and read all the grif on the macro lens armoury. You need to be aware of the nearest focusing point. The advantage of a long focal length macro is it eliminates the possibility of shadows which is a problem with a prime macro.

There's actually nothing much for you to adjust on a fixed focal length lens except for the focusing. I recommend you to look at the 105mm version from nikkor, 60mm is abit too short.
