## Overview

The Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is a lightweight, high-performance macro lens designed for Nikon DX cameras. Featuring a true 1:1 reproduction ratio and a minimum focus distance of 0.163m, it excels at capturing intricate close-ups with stunning sharpness and beautiful bokeh. Its Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus, while the manual-priority autofocus mode offers precise control. Perfect for macro, portrait, and general photography, this lens combines portability with professional-grade optical quality.

## Description

Demonstrating fantastic versatility; Macro, portrait and general subjects are all possible without changing lenses. Built to capture the finest detail, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G from Nikon delivers stunning close-up shots exposing hidden worlds of patterns and textures practically impossible to detect with the human eye. Wonderfully easy-to-handle, this lens is versatile enough not to limit photographers to one particular subject, shooting macro, portrait and general subjects with outstanding sharpness and beautiful bokeh. Remarkably light, compact and agile, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens serves as an exceptional complement to DX cameras. Up Close and Personal Providing high resolution and contrast, this standard focal length lens is a great choice for intricate food photography or detailed product shots. Focusing as close as 0.163m (from focal plane) and boasting a 1:1 reproduction ratio , the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G offers true macro performance for close-up photography [1]. With a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8, subjects can be singled out against a pleasantly blurred background and sharper handheld shots are achievable in low-light. Capturing the daisy with exquisite sharpness, the rounded 7-blade diaphragm renders a beautiful, natural background blur at its wider aperture settings. Strikingly Crisp Providing outstanding optical performance, the lens comprises 9 elements in 7 groups and a seven rounded-blade iris diaphragm which renders a beautiful, natural background blur at its wider aperture settings. With the Close-Range-Correction system , the lens elements are configured in a floating element design wherein each lens group moves independently to provide superior picture quality when shooting at close distances. Silent Precision Nikon's AF-S technology is yet another reason why professional photographers like NIKKOR lenses. Nikon’s exclusive Silent Wave Motor (SWM) converts travelling waves into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that’s extremely accurate and super quiet. So for discrete shooting you can set up the shot in an instant and camera focusing won’t disturb sensitive subjects like wildlife. Using an innovative floating element design, each lens group moves independently to achieve superior performance at any distance. Switching Focus Combining ease-of-use and maximum precision the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens has two focus modes. In addition to Manual focus, Manual-priority autofocus (M/A) allows you to switch from autofocus to manual operation with virtually no time lag, even during AF servo operation and regardless of the AF mode in use. This gives all the benefits of fast, automatic focusing while still retaining the ability to make fine focus adjustments before taking the shot. NIKKOR Quality Cleverly crafted in a way that only an optical manufacturer can understand, Nikon creates technologies that make NIKKOR lenses the best choice for any type of still or moving imagery. Omitting the need for an aperture ring, G-type lens aperture is controlled electronically through the camera. Electronic adjustment is not only very efficient but also allows Nikon to place a weather sealing on the lens mount, so you can shoot with complete confidence. Small enough to be carried everywhere, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens from Nikon will reveal hidden beauty in the smallest subject and the greatest of landscapes. [1] The actual focal length of 40mm has an angle of view equivalent to that of a 60mm lens in 35mm [135] format.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I were to lose this or if it were to break, would I buy it again? Without a doubt.
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 23 August 2016*

Wow, great lens. I bought this as a compromise between wanting a wider aperture/faster lens and to improve my macro photography and I am extremely pleased I did.On the macro side, I have tried the very very cheap alternates e.g. reversing ring and screw on close up lens (attached like a filter) and they work, but not easily and with less control over setup, than a simple point, focus, shoot, you get from a true lens. Yes, as per other review comments, you have to get close, yes that might reduce some light and yes you might frighten off that butterfly you were chasing around the garden all morning. But for my macro interest e.g. electronic components, still life and the such, they aren't going anywhere :-) That said, I bagged some good close up bee shots at the weekend, no issues.But this lens is more than a macro lens, it is really good - clear, sharp, fast, quiet - for street / walk about photography. The kit lens on my D3300 is 18-55mm, a very versatile range for most things and it was strange at first to have a fixed focal length, but that didn't last long. Having a fixed length makes you think about composition more, framing the shot up, using your feet instead of zooming, and that is not a bad thing.Having a relatively wide aperture f2.8, versus my kit lens f3.5, allows for more light so faster shutter speed to freeze motion and improve sharpness and much better bokeh. The focus on this thing is really quick and very quiet and pin sharp; only in macro use to I override what the lens might settle for, but that is a composition decision or I may purposely be focus stacking.Given the expense of true macro lenses and the advantages of having a faster lens, this is a a great compromise - you get a perfectly usable macro lens and a fantastic street lens in one.If I were to lose this or if it were to break, would I buy it again? Without a doubt.Updated: Added example macro shop of resistsor from my electronics kit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Getting into macro with a 40mm and V1 combo!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 May 2014*

This lens is a bit of a bargain. It is pin sharp and really well made. I bought it for my V1 and Ft-1 converter. It works perfectly with this combo and is easy to hand hold whilst chasing bugs around the garden. The 2.7x crop of the sensor adds an interesting effect. The lens allows 1:1 reproduction when used with a DX format camera. On the V1 it still focuses down to the same point, but the crop factor means the sensor only sees part of the image projected by the lens. Its like having an automatic enlargement of each picture. Therefore the image on the V1 sensor is greater than life size.The lens is very close to subject at minimum distance so you might be caught in your own shadow. Effectively it needs some form of artificial illumination to remove shadow and provide higher shutter speeds. See my review of LED ring light as well. As a bonus the Nikon SB-N7 flash appears to illuminate most subjects adequately in tests that I've done. The flash sits to one side of camera and is well forward of the body so as long as you havent got the lens hood on the flash doesnt cast a shadow from the lens.All in all I'm very happy with this lens on the V1. Of course you must factor in the FT-1 adapter cost, but I bought that originally for my 300mm, so this is a bonus!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extreme close up! And more!
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 January 2020*

I bought this lens to have a budget way in to macro (close up) photography. I now use it as a standard lens when I don't want to take my big zoom lens (18-140mm which is amazing but heavy). Macro takes a bit of practice and this lens is good for that. Very sharp and easy to manually focus. You need to get in really close so great for still objects but tricky for insects etc which get scared. As a standard lens you can switch the close up range off so that it autofocusses faster and again, really sharp. Technically on a Nikon DX camera "standard" is 35mm but there's so little difference it works well for general photography. f2.8 is wide enough for me too. Great little lens.
