Nikon shows off three new lenses

This morning, Nikon unveiled the D60… and just shortly after, they also announced three new lenses. Two of them are specialty lenses, and the third is an all-purpose lens. These come on the tail end of the D60 announcement, and should be shown off at the PMA trade show in Las Vegas – though you can see them here.

The first is the AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED – a macro lens that’s been around for a while, but updated with an AF-S motor like it’s big brother, the 105mm AF-S lens.

The second is a PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED – a perspective control lens, which comes in the D variety – so will remain backwards  compatible with film cameras that require the aperture dial.

The final lens is a general purpose AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR – a sort of replacement for the 18-70mm DX lens which offers a slightly wider and slightly longer zoom.
