DX Macro Lens for F-Mount
The Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is a prime macro lens built for DX-format SLR cameras. It delivers 1.0x life-size magnification with a 60mm equivalent field of view. The Silent Wave Motor provides quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. Super Integrated Coating reduces flare and ghosting for better contrast.
Close-Up Shooters Not Wide-Angle Users
This lens suits photographers who want to capture small subjects at 1.0x reproduction ratio on a DX body. The 38.5-degree angle of view and 40mm focal length are not designed for expansive landscapes or architecture. Buyers needing wider perspectives or full-frame coverage should look at other optics.
1.0x Magnification at 0.53ft Minimum Focus
The key specification is the maximum reproduction ratio of 1.0x reached at a minimum focus distance of 0.53ft (6.4 inches). This working distance lets you fill the frame with tiny details while the f/2.8 maximum aperture aids low-light focus and shallow depth of field. The 52mm filter thread accepts screw-on filters.

Questions about this item
Does the AF-S 40mm f/2.8G need any periodic maintenance such as motor lubrication or firmware updates?
No routine maintenance is required; the Silent Wave Motor is sealed and the G-type design has no mechanical aperture linkage to service.
What optical limit appears first when shooting at 1.0x magnification for long sessions?
Depth of field becomes extremely shallow at f/2.8, so stopping down toward f/22 is usually the practical constraint.
How much heat or fan noise does the lens generate during all-day macro work?
The lens has no electronics that produce heat or noise; only the quiet Silent Wave Motor runs during autofocus.
