Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Macro Lens: Expand the creative reach of your DX-format camera and produce eye-catching still photos and HD videos. A great choice for food photography or detailed product shots, this Micro-NIKKOR lens is ideal for general close-ups and yet still versatile enough to shoot portraits and landscapes.
This lens is one of the best purchases I have made considering the price. It is versatile ( Can be used as a standard portrait lens) and the quality of the glass itself is great. The first day I took it out to the local park, photos looked decent on the LCD, but went home and transferred them on the computer and WOW! I was stunned! I ended up starring at one of the pictures for a full minute amazed at how it turned out (I am an amateur photographer). I would recommend this lens for anyone who would like to take macro photos and would like to save some money. I would recommend a tripod for nature photography but this lens does allow for some fast shutter speeds. Only drawback is having to get inches close to the subject (I have gotten some weird looks) to get a good shot AND this lens attract more dust for some reason (maybe since you have to go so close) than my other lens... Have to clean it constantly

What's great about it: The quality of this glass is superb! Bokeh is great
What's not so great: 40mm for a Macro lens means that you have to get pretty close to the object which may affect lighting
