Good for closeup work. However, need to use a remote control for the shutter to avoid movement when taking photos

I bought this lens to have a budget way in to macro (close up) photography. I now use it as a standard lens when I don't want to take my big zoom lens (18-140mm which is amazing but heavy). Macro takes a bit of practice and this lens is good for that. Very sharp and easy to manually focus. You need to get in really close so great for still objects but tricky for insects etc which get scared. As a standard lens you can switch the close up range off so that it autofocusses faster and again, really sharp. Technically on a Nikon DX camera "standard" is 35mm but there's so little difference it works well for general photography. f2.8 is wide enough for me too. Great little lens.

Strength: Definately a sharp lens! But when i found that my new AF-P DX 18-55mm VR was just as sharp and distortionfree at 40mm as this special-lens, I sold it. You can't beat the convenience of VR and being able to zoom. If you want the ultimate in sharpness, get the old manual focus Micro-Nikkor 55mm f/2.8 or f/3.5 for fraction of the price used, instead! They have resolution on a completely other level than this 40mm. Other strenghts are weight and size, but when I'm helped just as good with the very close focusing and sharp AF-P kit-lens, who cares. Weakness: Good sharpness... But that is simply not good enough for a Micro-Nikkor. They used to be OUTSTANDING in the 70's and 80's.
