Nikon's new prime lens is pretty cheap, for a lens. A new Nikon lens is always worth a look. Recently the camera company has been upgrading its most stalwart lenses with internal AF motors to work on the latest, motor-less SLR bodies. Now, it has popped out a new, cheapish specialist model — a macro lens for full-frame bodies.
The lens is the AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm Æ'2.8G. As you can see from the name, it has a 40mm focal length and a reasonable Æ'2.8 maximum aperture. On a crop-sensor body, that becomes 60mm, good for portraits.
The lens focusses down to 16.3 cm (6.4 inches), giving a 1:1 sized image on the sensor.
