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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I changed 35 / 1.8 for this one, I'm quite satisfied. A little narrower, a little slower, but a little more interesting bokeh and much easier to shoot a subject and macro. I use it as a regular one, it is almost as good as 35 / 1.8 in this, and as a portrait one it’s even more interesting. I threw all macro-Frankensteins from inverted helios and other industries on the shelf, most likely forever.

Pros
  • Excellent sharpness, excellent macro, the limiter helps with everyday shooting, can be used as a staff member on crop
Cons
  • Pretty slow autofocus, especially at full. You can’t shoot macro in nature, only flowers, everyone who can crawl and fly does not like to pose from such a close distance. The hood generally blocks the whole world for him. A protective filter is very desirable, it's really scary to poke it so close to the subject in macro.

It cost 13 This is the case when the low price does not affect the quality.

Pros below: Clear glass, sharpness. Photo atas compared to the default one included with the d5100. The macro is suitable, the video is also sharper, it began to be written. With its cons. It happens on a black background, it does not focus.
