Gotta get my damn camera first though! >=O

Fits your D300, so it should fit my D7000...if/when it ever gets back in stock.

Just a note, this is an AIS lens, do check if the D7k has an aperture following tab. Worst case - just chimp with the histogram :) Its still F mount so will defo fit.

You might also want to consider the rarer 55/2.8AF

Unfortunately the AF version has a slightly shorter working distance, but it will have AE.... pro and cons I guess. Or just get a modern AF optic :) I used to own the 60/2.8 AF-S Micro Nikkor but I prefer the bokeh of the 55/2.8. Plus I don't need af for macro work so sold it. The 60mm is damned damned sharp though.

Wow, a lot of info packed into this. Im gonna have to read slow and Google, lol.

Good news is I just found 2 "local" (2+ hours away is local here) shops that have the D7000.

D7k looks like a killer camera, hope you have fun with it!
