This is a excellent lens and Im so happy

The AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor 40mm f/2.8 is a sharp, compact and lightweight lens that is optimised for macro work. Delivering great resolution, good contrast and superior bokeh, all with very little distortion and chromatic aberration, the Nikon 40mm f/2.8G is an excellent performer in the optical...

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.

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls; Well Built

Very good. Sharp images, but minimal focal length is very short. Its great for still life, and I use it for jewelry and portrait. One thing I fell. Manual focus is very very hard. But maybe its my one

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.

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.

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.

Great sharpness even from wide open; virtually unlimited range of focus

It gets really close for 1:1 macro; but that's o.k

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.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Rugged

I've been using this lens for a few months off and on with a D5300. The only thing that isn't great about this lens is the auto focus. It constantly rotates the dial back and forth, and I've waited minutes for it to either take the image, or I just turn the camera off.

Easy to use lens for taking close up pictures or portraits.
