Great DX Macro / Micro for Nikon owners
I recently purchased the Nikon AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm F/2.8G and found it to be a well manufactured great performer for DX Cameras. No obvious distortion was evident across the focal range and excelent sharpness under maximum camera image zoom.

At its asking price, the image quality that the Nikon AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G ($279.95) delivers is staggering. It's a macro lens with a slightly longer than standard-angle field of view, life-size magnification at its closest focus distance, and excellent image quality.
Pros:
- Very sharp
- 1:1 magnification
- Focus limiter switch
- Compact
- Inexpensive
Cons:

This lens is kind of an odd duck. It is the equivalent of a ff 60 macro in dx format. There are a couple of positive attributes it has going for it - good flat field, excellent sharpness from 2.8 on, small, light, and focusses pretty close, and really very affordable.
Pros:
- Sharp wide open
- good contrast
- close focus
Cons:
- DX only

Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G
It's an excellent piece of glass, no doubt. I've just bought it through flipkart and shoot some pictures. It's sharpness on all apertures are unique. My macro shots are also stunning. This lens is really versatile and great for it's price. And this is the sharpest among cheaper Nikkor lenses.

"Better than the ""nifty-fifty"""
"Got this lens from Oakville location. This is my second best purchase next to the D7000. This lens isn't just an amazing macro lens but also an excellent portrait lens. Super sharp, vivid and crisp images. I also have a 50mm f1.8 D and a 17-50 fast lens but I like using this lens better.

Great NIKKOR lens for the money.
I'd been looking to get a new lens for my Nikon D80. I already had two others, a 28-80 and a 75-300. I wanted something that I could get good close-ups. The AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is what I ended up with and I couldn't be happier. The picture quality is excelent.
