Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - mst - 09-13-2011 A good one: http://www.opticallimits.com/nikon--nikkor-aps-c-lens-tests/674-afs40f28dx -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - Guest - 09-13-2011 Looks like a nice walk-around lens for some D3100 :-) P.s. is it me or bokeh in the landscape shots looks a bit rough? Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - Brightcolours - 09-13-2011 A bit surprised by the relatively weak border/corner performance at f2.8, but not a super big issue in use (just surprising). What I find a bit odd is how the front element changes from nicely recessed to almost exposed through the focus range (just odd, not really bad). The bokeh is a nice surprise, makes this lens a great alternative to the 35mm f1.8 and a very nice wider angle macro lens. The Sony's bokeh seems even smoother, judging from the samples. Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - popo - 09-13-2011 I like the front element thing. One of my pet hates in macro lenses is a recessed front element which wastes working distance, even if it has a side benefit of being its own lens hood.

What is the working distance at 1:1 ? Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - mousefire - 09-14-2011 Nice one, but I already bought the Tokina M35 pro and hope for review for that one.

Not sure yet when that is going to happen, though. -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - mst - 09-14-2011 [quote name='youpii' timestamp='1315958115' post='11575'] What is the working distance at 1:1 ? [/quote] I'll measure it when I return home (I'm on the road this week). -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - PuxaVida - 09-14-2011 [quote name='Lomskij' timestamp='1315954495' post='11572'] ... P.s. is it me or bokeh in the landscape shots looks a bit rough? [/quote] Checking the flower close-ups, I think the bokeh looks very pleasant... And regarding the landscape shots @f/4 and f/2.8, I can say the bokeh is less nervous than the one I get from my 105mm VR (and that's the main reason why I rarely opt for the 105mm VR for the portrait shots)... Serkan Next PZ lens test report: Micro Nikkor AF-S DX 40mm f/2.8 G - Yakim - 09-14-2011 It's a nice little lens but I really hate lenses without IF design. If I were in Nikon I think I'd rather have the 35/1.8 + Raynox 250 for the price of the 40/2.8. |
