Looking for a new lens to capture in depth details or general portraiture? Nikon has just launched a new lens designed for your needs. Called the AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens, it is a lightweight and versatile lens that gives Nikon DX-format shooters macro capabilities without burning a hole in their wallets.

It has a natural focal length of 60mm (FX equivalent) and a large f/2.8 aperture that lets photographers shoot both close up shots and as well as flattering portraiture. It is touted to be fast, with whisper quiet autofocus operation, and makes use of Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor technology.
