Description

Intended for use with cameras featuring a crop frame sensor (smaller frame) and Nikon F Mount. It is aimed at photographers who wish to capture detailed and clear images of small objects, such as flowers, insects, jewelry, and products for commercial or other purposes. It is compatible with Nikon cameras with DX and FX sensors with conversion to DX mode and also features Silent Wave Motor technology for fast and quiet focusing.

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.

    I haven't had the lens for very long, but I immediately noticed the difference in the photos. I got it in combination with the Nikon D3500 kit for jewelry photography for my e-shop, and I am truly impressed. In many photos, I don't even need to edit anything!

    Very nice lens! I have had it for 4 months, it has very nice colors and depth of field with f 2.8. It was the first lens I bought after the kit lens, and after 1 month I sold the kit lens. It is simply amazing! And great for everyday use, portraits, and 1:1 macro
