Get closer than you ever imagined
Macro photography promises fun, unique ways to capture the things that impress you the most, whether it's the petal of a flower, the eye of an insect, or the tiny toes of a newborn baby. The AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G provides high resolution and contrast from infinity to life-size (1X), allowing you to focus very close to your subjects, letting you get lost in the tiny details of life.
Reveal Hidden Beauties
Sharp images ranging from infinity to life-size (1:1). This standard close-up lens captures even the smallest details from any distance, including details that are essentially invisible to the human eye. It is an excellent choice for food photography or detailed product shots. At the same time, thanks to the continuous autofocus capability from infinity to 16.3 cm (life-size, reproduction ratio 1:1), the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens ensures sharpness and clarity in every composition.
Isolate your subjects
Whether you are shooting portraits, food, or natural landscapes indoors or outdoors, the 7-blade circular aperture ensures beautiful, natural background blur (bokeh) at maximum aperture settings. Selective focus helps to isolate the subject and render the background out of focus.
Take it with you everywhere
The AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is compact, lightweight, and versatile enough for everyday photography. Capture flattering portraits and stunning landscapes. Enjoy impressive results in most situations without needing to change lenses.
Something more than macro
Enjoy the details you capture
It is excellent for photographing natural environments and for extremely close-up shots. Its ability to capture small details makes it ideal for landscape photography.
Technologies
CRC System
The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations, providing superior image quality at close focusing distances and increasing the focusing range. With the CRC system, lens elements are configured in a "floating element" design, where each lens group moves independently to achieve focus. This ensures superior lens performance even when shooting at close distances. The CRC system is used in fisheye, wide-angle, micro, and selected medium telephoto NIKKOR lenses.
M/A
Some NIKKOR lenses feature a focusing mode that allows switching from automatic to manual focus with virtually no delay, simply by rotating the focus ring on the lens. This makes it possible to smoothly transition to manual focus while looking through the viewfinder.
Silent Wave Motor
This technology converts "traveling waves" into rotational energy to focus the lenses. This allows for high-speed autofocus that is extremely accurate and super quiet.
SIC
This is Nikon's term for the multi-layer coating of optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
