Up Close and Personal
Nikon has brought the macro lens goodness (btw: Nikon calls macro, Micro) for DX-format shooters with the new, portable Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G ($279) . For less than $300, this lens is a steal and a must-have for anyone within the Nikon D40 to D7000 range.

Nikon 40mm f/2.8G AF-S DX Micro Lens
While I hope to create a full Nikon 40mm f/2.8G AF-S DX Micro Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information...

Nikon 40MM F2.8G Macro Lens JAA638DA review
Small, economical and excellent performance - there's a lot to like here. Nikon markets this lens as an introduction to macro photography, and I think they've done very well here to make that happen.

high value for little money: compact, light-weight, my normal prime on a DX camera with the additional marco feature
Pros:
- very sharp in the image center
- borders and corners show very good resolution and no relevant vignetting when slightly stopped down
Cons:
- wide open some vignetting and in the corners not as sharp as in the center

Nikkor AF-S DX Micro 40mm f/2.8G
The AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G is the most affordable macro lens for Nikon's range of DX format DSLRs, and as an AF-S model, it'll autofocus on any Nikon body. Yes you read this right: it's even cheaper than any lens capable of 1:1 magnification from Sigma or Tamron.

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.

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.
