I have an earlier version of the Tamron 90. It's an outstanding lens and highly regarded. The newer AFII version is compatible with your D60.

Of course, you can't go wrong with the Nikon 105 VR but it's much pricier.

I'm not promoting either company but the links have good information about both lenses.

I have a Nikon D200 and a D90 but those do not require the AFII (AFS) lens capability.

Hope this helps.

I was going to suggest the Tamron as an affordable alternative to the Nikkor Macro, as well
