Review on πŸ“· Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Close-up Lens: Perfect for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Cakra Buana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

I don't write a review right away. Of all the macro lenses, the most affordable! On the plus side, it has a built-in autofocus motor! For without "screwdriver" cameras, a dream! I photograph winter with this lens wherever possible. But he does well not only with macro. The portraits are exceptional with good bokeh, the subject comes out great. It’s worth it on the Nikon D5200 as a staff member, I sometimes set whale 18-140 only when I shoot a holiday, a family celebration (Birthday, New Year, Christmas, etc.). There is no stabilizer in it, probably it's sad. Although I never got a stir on it! Frames out of focus - not often, only in low light or a contrasting background. Does not introduce distortion (40 mm focus creates an angle close to the angle of perception of the eye). With an active zoom with your feet, it is quite possible to use it as a reportage. Silent autofocus with the possibility of manual fine-tuning! Again, the camera does not try to refocus if you manually bring the focus to the detail of interest to you.

Pros
  • light, compact, sharp
Cons
  • ? no stabilizer

Different pros: In general, everything is as expected: a good macro lens, the photos are juicy (both macro and portraits), with a nice blur. Different cons: It's not entirely clear what "semi-automatic scaling" means.
