NIKON 40MM F2.8 AF-S DX MICRO LENS REVIEW

I go hands on and review the popular DX format Nikon 40mm 2.8 micro/macro lens. This is an amazing macro lens for the price that is a step into getting great close up macro photos.

I have just purchased this lens literally today thanks for the review I look forward to working with it, some of us are still using a D200 and so far it works just fine

[@Eric_Rossi]

Thats awesome! Glad I could help, yeah its a strong lens for an amazing price

[@armandanusca]

Finally a review.A great job Eric.(Just put on fire that suit)

[@phillswanson5157]

Love that little lens

[@heminder]

Cool. I just prefer to have a $10 reversing ring always on my 50mm 1.8. Whenever I want macro... flip the lens around on the camera and boom! Less gear to pack.

[@SRX05]

I totally agree! I have one and I love it. It has become my "go-to" micro lens. :-)

[@SanjuThokchom]

i love ur video.....i made the decision and today I ordered this lens from Amazon.... looking forward to capturing fantastic images.... thanks pal ..

[@Eric_Rossi]

thank you and congrats, great lens!

[@ralphcedricbasco278]

I'm planning to get this for macro shots and your reviews are great. Anyway, any recommendations for cheap portable lights when doing macro?

[@Eric_Rossi]

yes, check out the Neewer CN-160 light!

My experience: 30 years military photography, starting with Speed Graphic in the 1950s and though cameras from Minox to 5x7. Ii that recently damaged one in a fall and couldn’t wait to get a new one. It It’s not the snazziest but does the job very well. I use it in a museum setting to photograph small lapel pins and privately on my Nikon D90 as a standard lens and occasionally (with the crop factor) on my Nikon D700, although there, there’s a price to pay in pixel reduction, the lens is made for a DX format camera.

Wow Eric ! Suit Up :) That Suit looks good on You .....

[@LeroyJavois]

Looking pretty slick in that suit there Eric!! You've peaked my interest with this lens. I shoot with a crop sensor body, and this would be right up my alley. Price wise, outside of it being free of charge, can't beat it. I've never considered macro work, but there is a level of intrigue... I may rent it, just to have a play. As always, thanks for the video.

[@kds8404]

Probably one of the sharpest DX lenses out there.

[@Eric_Rossi]

and very price friendly!

[@GoldenAceCreations]

it's great for price. I've one small problem, I usually do videos using my d3200, but when I use the 40mm lens in Low-light, I see noice even after proper settings. anyway to avoid noice.?

[@Eric_Rossi]

a lot of things to factor. What are proper settings, how high is your ISO, what the light is like, if you need to use flash etc.

[@GoldenAceCreations]

Eric Rossi thanks for your reply. I set ios to 800 in f/2.8, I use blue light because I need night effect and it's a indoor shoot. will this resolve if I use 35mm with f/1.8?

[@Eric_Rossi]

email me a photo or two, so I can see what you mean

[@heminder]

No, I use Nikon. All my lenses are vintage and have aperture rings on them =) With the new G lenses you can jam some blu-tack in the lever to keep the blades open.

[@gemmamadelaine1071]

Your eyes 😍

[@lokbanjara8663]

among 40 mm 2.8 g and 70-300 mm 4.5-5.6 af s ed which one will be best for nikon d3400?

[@davekirkwood9076]

hi, I purchased this lense brand new on offer for £150 and I am new to photography but I have took some really cool macro shots. Dave..

[@Eric_Rossi]

congrats on getting it!

[@TheGentGaming]

I presume you're not using a Nikon? Unless it's got the aperture ring, the f-stop locks to it's smallest aperture, so you have to jam it open - very annoying!

[@CloverStarz]

can the 35m 1.8 do good close up as the macro?

[@Eric_Rossi]

+Clover Vue nope not even close, its not a macro lens.

[@biplav32]

He said bokaah. lol

[@Eric_Rossi]

Yes I did and do lol

[@Buluntung]

Dude, calm down... XD Nice review tho,

[@Eric_Rossi]

never lol and thank you

[@shaunythesheep1]

i bought this lens for my d3200 and the selling point for me was the 1:1 so far its great

[@Eric_Rossi]

And for the price it doesn't hurt

[@shaunythesheep1]

***** i paid £185 so it wasnt cheap but its worth it

[@Eric_Rossi]

yeah that can happen due to the currency difference but its really strong
