The 40mm f/2.8G AF-S DX Micro-Nikkor Lens from Nikon is a superb carry-it-everywhere, jack-of-all-trades lens for your Nikon DX camera. The focal length (equivalent to 60mm in FX or 35mm format) gives it the versatility to capture portraits, street shots and landscape photos without breaking a sweat. And the light weight (9.9 oz/280 g) means you'll actually carry it around with you, greatly increasing the chance that you'll get a great photo.
Continuous quiet autofocus from infinity to 6.4 inches, and quick switching from autofocus to manual focus and back will keep you from missing any photo opportunities. The 7-blade diaphragm delivers a lovely, natural-looking background blur (known as bokeh), and Nikon's lens coating gives you reduced lens flare and improved color consistency. Take a close look at this lens--it could be your new best photo friend.
