Build quality

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.

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.

This is a excellent lens and Im so happy

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.

Small, affordable and with a minimum focus of 16.3cm, Nikon's 40mm f/2.8 micro lens may be suitable for more than just macro images. Richard Sibley finds out what it can do

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.

Flawless autofocus; Manual focus very easy; Lightweight; Short overall length

Narrow depth of field

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.

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

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