Nikon AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8G Micro Nikkor Review

Overall this is a very impressive and inexpensive lens that should bring true macro photography within the grasp of most DX-format camera users. There are a few minor weaknesses, the most obvious of which is relatively sluggish focusing in AF mode, but there is nothing serious to dislike about this...

Great lens

This is a great lens to have as it is just as good as the other portrait lenses in the same price category, like the 35mm and the 50mm, but it opens up a whole new realm of photography with the Macro feature. Once you get into it, it's so much fun and the possibilities become endless.

Nikon 40mm f/2.8G DX AF-S Micro Nikkor review by zanxion72

First, the 50mm 1.8 D had replaced my 18-105 on my Nikon D90. I was very pleased with it, being fast, sharp, and providing me with better image quality than my 18-105. Then I had tried the 35mm G and this. I was amazed with both of them.
Pros:
  • Great sharpness even from wide open
  • virtually unlimited range of focus
Cons:
  • It gets really close for 1:1 macro
  • but that's o.k

"Lens bought sooner because of homeshop18"

Lens is the most important part of the camera. Without which taking photos will be impossible. Proper selection of the lens is must to get extremely good results out of your efforts. Once my lens of Nikon camera got damaged, I had to replace it with a new one. And this selection was a hard one.
