Got rid of my 60 f2.8 AF Micro replaced to with a 55 f2.8 MF Micro. Much better lens in my opinion.

The 60 is varifocal, the closer you get the wider the lens becomes, down to a bit over 40mm I believe. AF is useless for close up work.

My 55mm 2.8 Micro was my most used lens on the D200. Now I have a D3 I have found a 105mm f4 MF because the 55 is a bit wide on the D3 for close up work.

The 55mm Micro is plentiful of eBay and at most Nikon sellers.

Can't speak for the flash, but Eric had one which had multiple heads which clipped around the lens. It seemed rather fiddly and expensive for what it was.

Nice to see you post! Was up your way last week.
