Ideal close-up lens for DX shooters

The AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is a compact prime built for Nikon DX-format DSLRs. It delivers 1.0x reproduction for true life-size capture of flowers, collectables or copy work. Silent Wave Motor focuses down to .53 feet and autofocuses out to 64 inches. Sharpness holds from close range to infinity.

Step up from kit zooms for macro detail

A standard kit zoom cannot reach 1.0x magnification, so this lens adds genuine macro capability without a longer working distance. The 40mm focal length keeps the perspective natural for portraits and landscapes. Close-Range Correction maintains performance at every focus setting. Buyers who need more magnification than 1.0x will need a different optic.

Consistent rendering during extended sessions

The 9-element, 7-group design with CRC keeps contrast and resolution stable when shooting sequences of close-ups. Silent Wave Motor runs quietly for HD D-Movie recording without focus noise. Fixed focal length means the barrel does not extend, so balance on the camera stays constant. The 38 degree 50 field of view matches normal vision on DX sensors.

Questions about this item

Will the 40 mm focal length and 38 degree angle of view fit my DX-format Nikon DSLR mount?

Yes, the lens is built for DX-format Nikon DSLR cameras and uses the standard F-mount, so it attaches directly without an adapter.

How do I switch to the 1.0x life-size setting, and what step do people miss?

Turn the focus ring until the distance indicator reads 0.53 feet; the Close-Range Correction System engages automatically, but many users forget to set the camera to AF-S mode so the Silent Wave Motor can drive the focus.

When should I expect to replace the front element or the ultrasonic focus motor?

The front element has no user-replaceable filter thread, so only a service centre can swap damaged glass; the Silent Wave Motor is sealed and rated for the lens lifetime under normal use.
