Nikon af s micro 60mm f 2 8g ed vs nikon af s 58mm f 1 4g?

The 58mm f/1.4G is the low-light and background-blur lens. The 60mm f/2.8G Micro is the sharper-stopped-down, more modest option. Both are autofocus primes for Nikon F, neither has stabilisation, and both cover full frame.

On full frame they frame 58mm and 60mm, so they're close in reach. The difference is aperture. At f/1.4, the 58mm f/1.4G gathers far more light and blurs backgrounds much more, so it's my pick for portraits and dim rooms. The 60mm f/2.8G Micro is the smaller, cheaper-to-shoot-with choice when you want something less dramatic.

If you shoot APS-C, the sensor guide explains how the framing changes.
