Reviews of AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f / 2.8G ED lens
Virtues
- Photo quality, price, lens size
disadvantages
- They are not
Comment
The lens is universal. Macro shoots with a bang, the colors are pleasant, the bokeh is very beautiful. Striking sharpness and quality - macro photos are magical!
As for nature and buildings, of course, the houses are not very close at all to the frame, but you get used to it in principle and are already tuning in for the right frame from afar. Nature is simpler, since in most cases it can be cut as you please. In a dimly lit room it is better to shoot a sport mode. By the way, it is also quite good and may well be with the macro mode, if, say, you are photographing a flying bee or bird.
In general, the lens is very satisfied and I advise it to everyone, in particular, who loves and knows how to shoot macro! Here are various photos from the Nikon D5200 and Nikon 40mm f / 2.8G AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/popkin2361/album/448546/

- Not very smart autofocus compared to macro 105. Bokeh is slightly inferior to fifty-five.
Comment
They write that macro 40mm between 35 and 50. No, do not believe it, they are mistaken. About 35mm read a lot and I will not write. 40mm can be photographed from bugs and to not bad portraits. I have a daughter of 10 months and it is a pleasure to take a picture with a forty-forty. Each eyelash is clearly visible. The face on the whole frame is very beautiful. With moving objects very horoho cope compared with 50mm 1.8. For the apartment is a pleasure.

Virtues
- Aperture, versatility, bokeh, sharpness starting from 2.8, colors and design, price. After the whale lens, the quality of the photographs results in a light shock. Rather smart trick. Includes hood and pouch for storage.
disadvantages
- Not the most reliable mount blend - almost lost several times. They write about the absence of a stub, but for me it turned out to be not critical - in most situations this is offset by a good aperture and short exposures.
Comment
I fell in love with this glass from the very first frames. Already managed to shoot and macro (yes, sneaking up to insects is not easy, but I did it http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/dunaev007/tags/%D0%BC% D0% B0% D0% IA% 80% D0% BE /) and girls at exhibitions http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/dunaev007/view/840924?page=0 and others http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/dunaev007/view/ 836369 /?

Yes, I have to jump with a fix in search of a suitable distance to the subject, but the results of these races very often make me happy. So the lens is acquired not in vain. Recommend!

Virtues
- DETAIL: the lens allows you to photograph the smallest details of the object, not even visible to the eye.
- FOCUS DISTANCE: the characteristics indicate a minimum of 0.16 m, but as practice has shown, it is possible to get close to the object almost closely - 3-4 cm, and at the same time focusing works!
- AUTOFOCUS: works perfectly even when you get close to the subject.
- BLURNING FRONT PLAN: awesome! even if the object and the part on which you focus are on the same plane, that is, the part is not highlighted, only the part will be in the focus area, and the rest of the foreground will be blurred.
- Examples here: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/simonowa-a-2014/album/426247/
disadvantages
- From the point of view of macro - they are not. From the point of view of general photography, the aperture can be called a disadvantage: when shooting indoors with artificial lighting, the lens lightens the shots greatly.
Comment
IMPORTANT: when shooting a general plan (not macro) - the usual lens. This lens is designed for shooting micro parts. A tiny daisy in the field, an ant on a blade of grass, a stamen inside a flower, a eyelash - these are ideal objects for shooting with a Nikon 40 mm lens, this is his element. At the same time, the photos of the faces are amazingly close up! The color rendition is at a height, the colors are very bright, but at the same time natural.
Complete delight! The dream of a perfect macro lens came true!

- Excellent sharpness since 2.8 (for the portrait the most it). Well removes the subject. The architecture is sharp and beautifully obtained. What pleased without Beck and got caught the front :) I also want to note a pleasant bokeh
disadvantages
- Autofocus scans sometimes and so .. unhurried) But he does not need speed, but when he runs through the focal length, he pauses. Awful shoots landscapes, grass and leaves in porridge, but this is not his element. Well, about the blend, I want to throw it out right away, because it barely holds on and hangs out, and rarely catches rabbits.
Comment
Excellent lens for subject shooting and portraits. Not wagon and not shtatnika! He has his own mission in this world;) Here is a photo from this lens: http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/aleksandrik20/album/388332/?
