Another option to look at might be the Nikon AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 VR, depending on how far you want to stretch your budget. Compared to the 40mm lens you'd gain some working distance, so you wouldn't have to get as close to get the same magnification. in addition, it also has VR, but that won't help you too much at macro distances.



Also, be prepared that at close focus distances the depth of field becomes very thin. There's not much you can do about it othef than stopping down. Which will in the end require to use a tripod, because of the long shutter times you get.
