The AF-S DX Micro lens is made for getting up close with your DX format DSLR. Silent and close Together with a 1:1 reproduction ratio and a focusing distance of just 16.3cm, you'll be able to capture life-like close-ups, without causing any distractions. This is with thanks to the NIKKOR Silent Wave Motor (SWM) which delivers a quite and accurate focus operation. Two focus modes; M/A (manual priority autofocus) and M (manual focus), offer you a flexible shooting scenario so you can capture images as it suits. They also allow for quick switching between Autofocus and Manual focus operation. Quality stills A large f2.8 aperture provides you with more scope to shoot by enabling more exposure. This creates a very shallow depth of field with only the subject, or just a portion of the subject, in focus. As a result, the viewers attention is directed to the subject. And the AF-S 40mm f/2.8 G's rounded 7-blade diaphragm creates beautiful natural Bokeh (background blur) when set at its widest aperture setting. Compact and lightweight Weighing in at 235g, the lens is small enough to be carried anywhere. Perfect for shooting high quality stills and HD D-Movies, the lens is at the ready to capture subjects from delicate flowers to detailed portraits.
