About this product

Product Information

The compact Nikon Micro-NIKKOR F/2.8 CRC DX SWM AF-S SIC M/A lens takes high-quality, high-resolution stills and high-definition movies. Sharpness and clarity are achieved with the continuous autofocus from infinity to 6.4 inches. Fine details are captured at any distance by this excellent close-up lens. The lightweight lens has a rounded 7-blade diaphragm that boosts the item's performance and enhances the end results. The innovative close-range correction system increases the focal range and ensures superior image quality at close distances. Using ultrasonic vibrations, the Silent Wave Motor focuses the lens giving a precise autofocus operation. Providing 1x magnification, it works well in low-light conditions to provide crisp, bright pictures for your digital SLR. You will notice that these micro lenses are particularly lightweight at just over 0.5 pounds. When attached to a digital camera of any kind, it hardly adds any weight. It is very portable and easy to take with you wherever you go as it is small enough to carry around in a purse or similar bag. The aperture with this particular device is controlled directly by the camera you use with it. The item dimensions are set to 2.72 by 2.72 by 2.56 inches. The Nikkor 40mm has a solid build that consists of a durable plastic barrel and metal mount. These lens accessories are designed with high-quality materials that will last. This Nikon lens has a maximum aperture of f/1.4 and a minimum of f/22. The optical zoom extends to a massive 60x magnification. This is more than enough to allow you to hone in on any object in the distance. When considering attaching a filter to this type of Nikon lens, it is compatible with a filter thread size of 52mm. Any filter you have is applied to this Nikon item by screwing it in place. While these AF/S f/2.8 lenses work well with any format of photography, they have been crafted with certain types in mind. The high zoom and 40mm focal length make this Nikon item ideal for portraits, landscapes, delicate flowers, and close-ups. You will be pleased with the inclusion of an easy-to-use switch that seamlessly takes you from auto-focus mode to manual focus mode. All you need to do to change between these two modes is to rotate the installed focus ring. This Nikon 40mm lens is also equipped with a super integrated coating that offers several benefits to your photography. These benefits include better light transmission efficiency and enhanced color consistency. This coating is also great for reducing the amount of lens flare that adversely affects your photo. While these lenses are specifically micro ones, they can also operate as a macro lens for macro photos. This particular DX item fits with a wide range of DSLR cameras. If you like to isolate objects, this NIKKOR 40mm provides natural background blur that automatically allows for enhanced focusing. This is available at wide-aperture settings. Selective focus can assist in isolating the subject. This AF-S system is equipped with nine elements in seven groups, with the AF technology of this device designed to be inaudible when in use.

  • Sharp images with unbelievable details

    This lens can do micro macro photography great! If you have kit lenses and you are considering another lens, get this one over the 35 mm or the 50 mm. Hands down much better value. I am very pleased with the lens. If it had some vibration reduction as well, that would be great. Zoom in on the pictures. You can see the pollen and the details in the pistols. With a tripod and better lighting I could have captured more detail.

  • Opens up a whole new world

    My first experience with macro photography and am having a lot of fun exploring my backyard. images are very sharp, but with that comes a very small focal range which can be challenging. I often find myself bumping into subject with lens. I guess I will be looking to add a longer lens so I don't have to get that close. Maybe 105mm macro.

  • A very good macro lens on a Nikon 1 system camera

    Although not the best focal length for a macro lens (it puts the front of the lens very close to the subject) on a DX body, it works very well on a Nikon 1 system body such as the V2 via the Nikon FT1 adapter. The small size and weight of this lens are a decent match for Nikon's discontinued mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras built around the 1" sensor.

  • Nice but 1:1requires getting too close in.

    Nice lens, sharp images, but for macro work you really need a longer focal length, Nikon's 105mm micro or Tokina's 100mm macro probably a better choice for macro photography.

  • Excellent macro lens!

    You won’t find a better lens for taking pics of products you wish to sell. Also great for flowers! Not the best for insects due to focal point. Highly recommended

  • Great lens for macro

    It's an amazing lens with everything you ask to offer if you are low on budget.. with sharp aperture and good glasses, this lens is all you would look forward to have as your first macro lens.. the results are amazing

  • Great Lens

    Its a great lens for DX body, this is good all over lens for portrait and macro work to. The macro distance is little closer which may be accepted for 40mm but not good for smaller moving insects. But, the image quality is really good, sharp and nice bokh for all kind of photography. All over worth to buy lens for DX body and I am using this on my Nikon D7200.

  • Nikon Macro

    Couldn't wait to get it. Very impressed with it and it's functionality. For someone who might be interested in doing Macro work I would recommend it because I know you'll be hooked! They ask, Is it SHARP? Well sticking to the facts you can observe the first shots I took with it and a Ring Neck Pheasant A.K.A. "Clyde" and one shot "with Lens Flare" in the birds lens! The Best review is in the naked untouched photo, so you the reader can judge for yourself and I can't resist telling everyone that these shots are Hand Held.

  • Great Micro Nikkor for Mirrorless

    The 40mm Micro Nikkor supplies a very sharp image at just over normal lens focal length. Great bang for the buck!
