This little lens worked awesome on a recent trip. Close-ups and real macro photos of plants came out crisp and vibrant. Autofocus was unreliable up close (but I expected that), and I would prefer to not have to turn the focus ring as far to get AF to deactivate.
As a portrait or general use lens, pictures were also clear with a pleasant bokeh.
Some reviews I saw complained about the focal length being too short, but for me it's not an issue as I don't really take bug pictures. For plants, food, and assorted other (mostly) stationary subjects the focal length wasn't an issue.
Overall, this lens worked incredibly for what I needed. Would buy again even if there was an extra $100 on the price tag.

Incredible budget macro lens

My first Micro (Macro) lens.  Very impressed with the brilliance, focus ability and just general overall quality of this Nikon Lens.

I would say it is a must have for those into flowers and bugs!!

This is a superb lens. I bought it primarily for close-ups and product shots. Very pleased so far. It?s also just fine for general purpose work. Keep in mind this lens puts you very close physically with small subjects where even the lens shade might be in the way. Pay attention to your surroundings.

Great lens for closeups and general picture work

. A must have lens does what it supposed to do. Have been very happy with this lens and would recommend it for a must have lenss.

It works.

Love this lens!
Sharp clear close ups. 
Lightweight and durable

GREAT LITTLE MICRO LENS

Typical Nikon - just another great lens.
Meets my needs for a quality micro lens.

Typical Nikon - just another great lens.

This is a quality Nikon lens.  Delivers the quality images that I expect from Nikon.

Nikon, thumbs up as usual.

Fast micro lens

Used this leans for up close details of plants and their flowers in over 25,000 pictures when years of exposure to fine desert dust froze up the motor. I just bought a replacement, because I need it on all my travels.

great lens for macrophotography

Sharp and very light lens with good auto focus.  Brought to work with Nikon ES-1, ES-2, and D3400 to digitalize my 35 mm slides and film negatives.

Sharp & Light

Sharp lens that I will be using with Nikon ES-2 to digitalize 35mm slides and negatives with my Nikon d3400.

Sharp lens for special application

Great lens for close up photography. I?m a mineral collector and it has allowed me to get up and personal!

Great lens!

Super sharp, fantastic lens for the price and for this format! Had it on my D500, and used it for everything from Macro to portrait work!

Buy this lens!

I'm new to the game but no complaints with this lens. Love it - great value!

Nice

It is a remarkable piece of equipment that makes photography very fun.  We can take pictures of nature scenes that were impossible before this lens.

Great lens.  I will definitely need to practice with it, but I like the photos I've taken so far.

Good Macro lens

Awesome

The Nikon 40mm f/2.8 DX Micro Nikkor is my first macro lens. I love it. Macro photography is why I obtained  my D7500 in the first place. Once my budget is able to breath some more (after the purchase of the D7500 and then the 40mm macro lens) I plan purchasing another macro, perhaps the DX 85mm or maybe even the FX 105mm.

My first macro lens

I bought this for macro shots. It works like a dream on wild flower closeups.

I love this lens!

Excellent lens.  I love it for landscapes and close shots of flowers. I use it on d7500

Good quality.

The lens and slide copier works great. Digitizing my slides has worked great.

I am very happy with the results.

This bundle contained everything I required

Great bundle

Does the job of photographing art work which is critical for posting & creating quality prints

Lens for photographing art work

Excellent lens!  I’m well pleased with it.

Fantastic Nikon 40mm lens

The macro lens is a great sweet spot of price and Nikon quality. Very quick focus response when used in a normal fashion, with a manual override for that close up focus. I would recommend this to anyone looking for that sharp near field image

Best macro for the buck!

Can’t go wrong with this lens. Great macro quality up close and surprisingly good portraits at a distance with an even better price.

Great lens

It's price is hard to argue with. As a beginner this lens was a little harder to get adjusted to since macro is a bit less forgiving. The autofocus with my D3500 really sucked with this lens. I almost never used it so the manual/auto switch was very helpful since I didn't have to switch settings when I threw this lens on. Otherwise it was great with depth of field and plenty fast to catch a moving target, although it can be difficult to get close enough with a 40mm. On the other hand, the wide angle makes camera movements a lot less noticeable. It is a great entry way to macro-photography.

A worthwhile lens

Takes great up close photos. Really enjoying using it.

Great.. Really like it..

This macro lens is awesome and at a great price for someone who takes photos as a hobby. A good lens to have in the bag.
