AF 50mm f/1.8D AF  $        105 B&H Nikon 75 154 457 N N 1.7 inches. No internal motor PZ the resolution figures are exceptionally high and surely a benchmark to beat. Distortions are negligible and vignetting is very well controlled. The build quality of the lens is very decent and the AF performance leaves nothing to be desired.
AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR DX !  $        120 B&H 27-83 210 Y Y
AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED DX !  $        145 B&H 80-300 255 Y N
AF 28mm f/2.8D AF  $        224 B&H 42 195 305 N N No internal motor PZ Compared to modern lenses the seems to be a little dated but naturally it still remains a very good lens with a few bugs.
AF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED DX !  $        280 B&H 27-202 385 450 Y Y PZ Resolution is a real strength of the lens. … All-in-all a good consumer grade lens and maybe the current value king in Nikon land. 
AF-S 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED DX !  $        285 B&H 27-105 390 380 Y Y PZ The lens is capable to deliver very good resolution figures and low CAs but on the other hand distortions as well as vignetting are very pronounced specifically at 18mm.
AF 24mm f/2.8D AF  $        300 B&H Nikon 36 275 305 N N No internal motor PZ didn't really convince during the tests due to various shortcomings.
AF 50mm f/1.4D AF  $        300 B&H 75 221 549 N N No internal motor
AF-S 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR DX !  $        325 B&H 27-157 420 450 Y Y
60mm f/2.8D AF Micro  $        384 B&H 90 439 224 N N
AF-S 60mm ED f/2.8D Micro !  $        460 B&H 90 425 185 Y N PZ is a worthy successor to a highly regarded lens. It is able to deliver very sharp images, the bokeh in general is smooth, vignetting is no issue on a DX camera and the AF is as fast as you'd expect an AF-S drive to be
AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF VR  $        470 B&H 105-450 745 1500 Y Y

Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8G ED AF DX   $        565 15.75 N N
AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED DX VR !  $        640 B&H 27-300 560 500 Y Y PZ Unfortunately the (tested sample of the) Nikkor AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR II DX wasn't able to convince completely.
AF-S 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED DX !  $        870 B&H 18-36 485 300 Y N PZ osts aside it's a close race between the two  [Tokina 12-24] with a slight edge for the Nikkor regarding optical quality. When taking the very different price tags in account the decision may be a little more complicated.
AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED DX  $    1,159 B&H 26-83 Y Y
AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED  $    1,590 B&H 21-36 Y N

Compatability of lenses with D60 Lens Compatibility: Just like the D40 and D40x, the D60 autofocuses only with AF-S lenses, and does not meter with manual lenses. This means you have to focus older AF lenses by hand, and that you have to guess at exposure with manual focus lenses.
