Nikon AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm 1: 2.8G Lens (Electronics)

Customer Review

What lenses I have so far:
I own the famous kit lens 18-55mm VR and the 55-200mm VR telephoto extension that. Thus, I cover a large zoom range. Nevertheless I wish a bright standard lens with magnification 1: 1.

After some research, I came across the new Nikon DX 40mm. It has a fixed focal length of 40mm, a good Lichtsärke of 1: 2.8, a magnification ratio of 1: 1 and an auto focus with priority on manual focusing. In addition, the minimum focusing distance with kanpp 16cm from the sensor level is very low. The only drawback: The lens has unfortunately no built-in image stabilizer.

Nevertheless, convinced me of the many positive aspects, and the relatively cheap price for an original Nikon.

When the lens was delivered I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of workmanship. To a large extent it is indeed plastic, but what I was aware beforehand. Convince me could but the bayonet of metal (from 18-55 and 55-200mm I was accustomed to another), and the precision and grip focus ring (again, no comparison to my other lenses). Of course the objective is relatively easy, bothers me, however. Only the design is a bit unusual; the Irish focus the front lens moves in a shaft. Depending on the distance to the subject, the lens protrudes also like 'completely' out.
I'll probably buy additional a neutral color filter from Nikon, to protect the lens from scratches and dust.

But finally the image quality:
Despite the lack of image stabilization my pictures are really sharp crack, whether close-up, portrait, landscape, or (of course, with appropriate exposure time). The good brightness makes working in darker environments, and provides natural and consistent results.

Only for some insects etc. macros is the focal length is not optimal. The naturally shy animals often disappear before you have approached them sufficiently. Personally, I'm with the 40mm (60mm or according to small picture) nevertheless very satisfied. This zoom range is suitable for many different motives.

Conclusion:
For me, my new 'always on it'. Great image quality, fine workmanship and compact design can convince. The only complaint in my opinion is the lack of image stabilization!
