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...

Lens Test: Nikon 40mm f/2.8G AF-S DX Micro

In both capability and cost, this close-up lens is a gift to DX-format (APS-C-sensor) Nikon shooters. A full-frame equivalent of 60mm, it delivers a lot for its meager $280 street price: 1:1 macro shooting, a fast f/2.8 aperture, metal lensmount, and great optics.

Instant Love

I've been a a photographer for 9 years so far, and I really loved my 50mm I owned. I didn't think any lens would out-do that lens. I was wrong. I bought this micro lens as my first micro lens to just play around with and do some fun macro work away from my business photography.

great lens, great price

The depth of field is a fundamental property of the lens and f-stop. The manufacturer has little control over this, but prospective buyers should not be surprised to see some blurry images. In some circumstances it is necessary to use manual focus because the autofocus may select the wrong plane.
Pros:
  • Flawless autofocus
  • Manual focus very easy
  • Lightweight
  • Short overall length
Cons:
  • Narrow depth of field
