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

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

Wether you're shooting portraits, food or nature-indoors or outdoors-the AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G's rounded 7-blade diaphragm renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings. Selective focus helps to isolate the subject, creating out of focus backgrounds.
