hidden worlds of patterns and textures practically impossible to
detect with the human eye. Wonderfully easy-to-handle, this lens

outstanding sharpness and beautiful bokeh.
Remarkably light, compact and agile, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR
40mm f/2.8G lens serves as an exceptional complement to DX
cameras.
Up Close and Personal
---------------------
Providing high resolution and contrast, this standard focal
length lens is a great choice for intricate food photography or
detailed product s. Focusing as close as 0.163m (from focal
plane) and boasting a 1:1 reproduction ratio, the AF-S DX Micro
NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G offers true macro performance for close-up
photography[1]. With a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8, subjects
can be singled out against a pleasantly blurred background and
sharper handheld s are achievable in low-light.
Capturing the daisy with exquisite sharpness, the rounded
7-blade diaphragm renders a beautiful, natural background blur at
its wider aperture settings.
Strikingly Crisp
----------------
Providing outstanding optical performance, the lens comprises 9
elements in 7 groups and a seven rounded-blade iris diaphragm
which renders a beautiful, natural background blur at its wider
aperture settings. With the Close-Range-Correction system, the
lens elements are configured in a floating element design wherein
each lens group moves independently to provide superior picture
quality when shooting at close distances.
Silent Precision
----------------
Nikon's AF-S technology is yet another reason why professional
photographers like NIKKOR lenses. Nikon’s exclusive Silent Wave
Motor (SWM) converts travelling waves into rotational energy to
focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that’s
extremely accurate and super quiet. So for discrete shooting you
can set up the in an instant and camera focusing won’t
disturb sensitive subjects like wildlife.
Using an innovative floating element design, each lens group
moves independently to achieve superior performance at any
distance.

NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens has two focus modes. In addition to
Manual focus, Manual-priority autofocus (M/A) allows you to
switch from autofocus to manual operation with virtually no time
lag, even during AF servo operation and regardless of the AF mode
in use. This gives all the benefits of fast, automatic focusing
while still retaining the ability to make fine focus adjustments
before taking the .
NIKKOR Quality
--------------
Cleverly crafted in a way that only an optical manufacturer can
understand, Nikon creates technologies that make NIKKOR lenses
the best choice for any type of still or moving imagery. Omitting
the need for an aperture ring, G-type lens aperture is controlled
electronically through the camera. Electronic adjustment is not
only very efficient but also allows Nikon to place a weather
sealing on the lens , so you can shoot with complete
confidence.

40mm f/2.8G lens from Nikon will reveal hidden beauty in the
smallest subject and the greatest of landscapes.
