  • Buy this instead of the 35mm f/1.8 DX
*: Black
Many forum threads have pondered whether to choose the 40mm micro of the 35mm 1.8. I have owned both, used them extensively and can safely conclude that the 40mm micro/macro is the better all-around lens. It can do most the 35 can do, but offers the added bonus of macro and superior sharpness and resistance to chromatic aberration. Here are the pros of the 35mm 1.8 - affordable prime lens - fast 1.8 aperture makes it potentially wonderful for indoor and low-light shots when flash is not available or permitted - extremely sharp if you get a good copy (I've owned two copies. One was tack sharp all the way down to f/1.8. The other had a lot of chromatic aberration and purple fringing wide open). - great starter lens for a photo class Here are the cons of the 35mm 1.8 - purple fringing wide open - blurry wide open (what's the point of 1.8 if you can't use it?) - lens hood is way too small - build quality is plasticky (but this applies to 40mm micro as well) Here are the pros of the 40mm micro - A great lens for amateur food photography (at the actual restaurant/kitchen with actual food) - Nikon's most affordable macro lens - f/2.8 aperture is still very good for general photography - Macro feature works like a charm - Lens is lightweight enough that you can get away with handheld shots - 40mm focal length (60mm on full-frame) makes it good for product photography of larger objects - has focus limiter switch to disable macro and speed up autofocus - great manual focus feel Here are the cons of the 40mm micro - autofocus hunts more than a regular af-s lens - you're way too close to subject if you want 1:1 magnification (where 24mm wide object fills length of frame) - Max aperture is f/4.4 at 1:1, but that's normal for all macro lenses Because both lenses produce the equivalent of 52/60mm on a film camera, neither is appropriate for head & shoulder portraits, unless you shoot in landscape orientation. Both are great for full body or waist-up portraits. I like shooting up close, so I think you can fit a maximum of two or three people in the shot with these lenses. I would go wider for group photos. Overall, though, I would choose the 40mm macro lens. It's sharper overall, focus is pretty fast (even when it hunts), and has the added value of close-focus/macro ability. Great for food & product photos. ... show more

  • Amazing capabilities .. Amazing price
*: Black
As an amateur photographer .. I was comparing the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 .. the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and the Nikon 40mm f/2.8. The Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras is 200$ .. Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras is 210$ and this Nikon 40mm is 280 $. The apretures as you see are better in all other lenses compared and they're also cheaper .. but i chosed this one though .. because actually if you want a "bokeh-licious" lens only for portrait (35mm and 50mm) you're wasting money because it doesn't feature macro .. so you're adding 60$ and adding the best focusing range in all nikon lenses . as no lens focuses closer than 0.163cm. I tried this lens in all condition .. ( weddings , birthdays , macro "flowers" , portrait , street photography etc.)and here are my notes: WEDDINGS: - as you need a wide-angle in wedding for the bride and groom this lens isn't perfect .. but it's perfect when capturing moments for it's fitting focal length and its apreture .. like with their best friends dancing or the guests . It's also light-weight so it fits perfectly for wedding and to complete the wedding arsenal .. i recommend the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR .. only 200$ BIRTHDAYS: - if this birthday is a business (you're not invited) .. this lens is perfect for everything .. because if you're sitting with them on the table .. this isn't perfect. MACRO: -as a macro lens i ONLY recommend this and the Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens and the price difference is huge .. and this is in a category and the other one is another category. Its focus is a little bit annoying because it changes every mini-second .. so you can fix this by pressing the AE-L button .. when reaching the desired focus . PORTRAIT: - Its bokeh is closing the case .... PORTRAITS ARE VERY NICE .. WITH A VERY NICE BOKEH. I highly reccomend this Lens to ANYONE ... show more

Item arrived quickly and exactly as described. This lens is more versatile than I thought, not just for macro

  • Versatile after a slight "learning curve"
*: Black
I bought this lens as my general purpose replacement for the stock lens as well as my macro, when the stock lens got damaged. It clearly shines as a macro lens, easy to use out of the box for that purpose. Macro images are particularly beautiful. Landscapes are also effortless. I agree with other reviewers who've noted that for general purpose shots (mid-range, such as people or party shots), this lens can seem finicky to focus and even a little slow. I'm learning to use it effectively on "auto"-type settings. However, I've found that I can get great mid-range versatility by using the aperture priority setting with an F-stop of 5 or 5.6 for longer depth of field, or I can experiment with a fully-manual combination for sports photos inside a gym, etc. In a sense (and another reviewer had noted this also), the lens forces you "back to basics" at times, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but can be frustrating at first if one's experience has been mostly with lens / camera combinations that seem "fool-proof" out of the box in a wide range of settings. ... show more
