Go prime with this
Best Lens for: Flower Photography Closeup Photography Food Photography Portraits Landscape Videography Very light China made lens. Small too. But don't consider this as a drawback. This small lens can do wonder if you know how to use it.

Great bit of kit
I purchased this to use with my Nikon D3200 for close shots as the 2 lenses provided with the camera are great but are of little use for quality close up photos of very small items with small detail.

Nikon 40mm f/2.8G DX AF-S Micro Nikkor
Bought this one second-hand some years ago and it has proved itself to be an extremely useful lens - doubling as a 'standard 60mm (equiv)' and a fast macro. Sharpness is excellent but bokeh can be rather 'busy' in some lighting - especially dappled woodland sunlight.
Pros:
- Very sharp! On full frame cameras
- you can get useful results if you stop down to F/8 or more
Cons:
- 7-blade iris makes for 'busy' bokeh
- Auto-focus not the quickest

A mini marvel
I wanted a small prime lens to go with my D7100. I thought about the 35mm 1.8 but in the end chose the 40mm 2.8 Micro because it has macro capability and I rather fancied being able to take some macro photographs occasionally.
Pros:
- Durable
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Simple Controls
- Well Built

Some of us simply need to focus very, very closely to the subject, and for us the 35mm 1.8 DX will never quite do the trick. That's why God and Nikon pooled their resources and made the Nikkor 40mm f/2.8.

40 mm works fine.
The only thing I have found that is a bit on the neg side is the sun shade doesn't fit as tight as I would like,but it isn't something to cause me to not buy this lense,That's for sure.
Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Lightweight
- Rugged

Superb Versatile Lens
This amazingly inexpensive diminutive lens is capable of bitingly sharp and gorgeously rendered images that you might expect from a lens costing 4x as much as this one…and don't always get.

Where have you been all my life
This lens is a winner...much, much more than I bargained for. If you love macro and also the ability to shoot with a 40 mm lens...YOU WILL LOVE this lens. Outstanding for Nikon...and an excellent price. Shoot like the pros with this small wonder. You will be amazed at the results.

Great Detail at Close Range
I recently purchased this Lens for the purpose of capturing small objects at close range. Right out of the box the first few images that I took were astounding. Although it doesn't have zoom feature, it will however focus automatically and I knew this when I purchased it.
