Is this lens compatible with my Nikon camera?
The Nikon AF Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 Micro has a Nikon FX mount, so it is compatible with Nikon full-frame (FX) cameras and also with DX cameras (APS-C format), although in the latter the angle of view will be narrower. To ensure exact compatibility with your model, we recommend consulting your camera's manual or contacting our team.
What type of photography can I do with this lens?
It is a macro lens, ideal for detail photography, flowers, insects, and products. Thanks to its minimum focusing distance of 0.25 m, you can get very close to the subject. It is also excellent for portraits, as the 55mm focal length and f/2.8 aperture allow for a good background blur.
Does autofocus work correctly on modern cameras?
This lens has an autofocus motor, so it will work on Nikon cameras that have a focus motor in the body (like most DSLRs). On cameras without a motor (like some mirrorless with an adapter), autofocus may not be available. We recommend checking compatibility with your equipment before purchasing.
What does the Camera Market warranty include?
All our second-hand lenses undergo a rigorous technical inspection and come with a Camera Market warranty of 6, 12, or 24 months, depending on the plan you choose. This covers any functional defects that may arise, giving you total peace of mind in your purchase.
