It will work and you can set the aperture but it should be done inside of the camera, not physically. Set the aperture on the orange number and adjust it in aperture priority or manual modes.
Does this lens (AF Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8D) fit on the D60 body?

It will fit on the D60. You will have to use manual focus because the D60 does not have a focus motor in-camera and the 60mm 2.8D is not a SWM lens. You should consider the AF-S model 60mm 2.8G as auto-focus will work fast and accurate and its not much more in cost.
Yes it fit but you will have no autofocus, not that it really matters having af if you are doing macro as most of the time you will use manual focus anyway.
it will work beautifully, but it will not autofocus. look for AF-S lenses if you want autofocus on your d3100 as that body lacks an internal motor, so the lens needs to have one.
Hi all. I just got a AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D and I've put it on my D5000 body. I've been impressed with the lens so far, but some of my shots were a bit overexposed, which prompted me to want to change the aperture size. There is an option to manually switch between different f-stops on the lens, but when I did this, the camera yelled at me saying that the manual setting must remain locked into f-stop = 32. I haven't fiddled around with it much yet, but after the camera's reprimand, I then assumed that the body of the camera would control aperture size (either automatically, or through my manual settings). Is this correct? Will the camera body control the f-stop, or will all my pictures be in f-stop = 32 with this lens/body combo? Thanks for any help!

Lock the lens at F/32 and let the camera control the aperture. The only time you would use the aperture ring would be on an older 35mm body, in other words an old film camera.
I am thinking of buying a 2.8 60mm lens and am wondering if the increased cost to buy an AF-S lens is worth the added cost. I understand the AF-S is quieter and "smoother," but would I notice any difference in photo quality?

AF-s version is better background than AF version and it's mechanism is a lot of better than AF version.
Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor. Cameras such as the D3100 do not have a focus motor in it so they require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.
Finally upgrading from the film era, manual focus cameras (FE2, FA), I'm not sure about the compatibility of autofocus lenses. I purchased a D7000 and I am wondering if this lens will work with this camera. TIA
Where can I obtain a re-production of the manual / instruction sheet that comes with this lens new?
I followed the linkage on this page for "Product Manual" and have closely searched the list of all manuals on the link and cannot find any written material that I assume comes with the af micro nikkor 60mm f 2.8d lens when purchased new. Am I missing something on the linked page or are the written materials no longer provided by Nikon? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

This lens will work but will not autofocud, it does not a a built in focus motor so a camera with a focus motor is required. Your camera does not have this feature so you need lenses designated AF-S
What is the difference between DX and FX? Can each be used with any camera?

FX lenses can be used on either FX or DX cameras. DX lenses are intended for use only on DX cameras. FX cameras have a larger imaging sensor than DX cameras which generally translates into lower noise images at high ISO's.
I'm not sure if this is something I need to send the lens in for repair for. When attached to the D700, the f-stop range displayed on the D700 shows f3.2 to f36, instead of f2.8 to f32. Everything else seems to be working normally and the images are crisp and clear. Fantastic images!

The best resolution that I get with this lens is at F/5., F/6/ 8 F/&11. Before and after these stops the resolution drops down when using my Nikon D800E. The loss in resolution is worse beyond F/11 that it is at the wider F/stops because of diffraction. I would avoid using the F/stops that you are using so as to get better resolution. This presents little problems if you are photographing flat art work because the depth of field requirements are less than those of, say, sculpture.
