Cons: You get too close to your subject in macros.
Pros: Very good for portrait and street photography in replacement of 35mm or 50mm f/1.8.
Summary: Magic plastic. High value for the money.

Cons: Easy to get shadows on extreme close-ups. 40mm too wide for most wildlife macro situations. Slow AF. Not a flattering lens for portraits in my opinion.
Pros: Extremely sharp and contrasty across the frame, great value, light and small. Provides a lot of creative opportunities for staged close-ups.
Summary: A great little lens! It's relatively well built, nice to handle, has a quite pleasant bokeh and are free of distortion. I see it more as a specialist than an all-rounder. Get it if you like to experiment with close-ups. If you're more into portraits, I'd rather suggest the more "forgiving" 35mm/1.8 in this price range. For serious wildlife macro: save for something (wonderful) in the 90-180mm range.

Cons: You get too close to your subject in extreme macros, slight vignetting when wide open.
Pros: One of the sharpest lenses ever for the DX cameras, lightweight, great colour rendition, low distortions.
Summary: A great lens that lets you focus from virtually 0 to infinity. It is quite sharp at all apertures and from the center to the edges. Great for almost everything. For serious macro, you should consider something else as at a distance of a couple centimeters from your subject, you cast your own shadow on the subject.

Cons: AF speed is slightly slower especially during low light / dimmer condition.
Pros: This lens is as sharp as the katana! Reasonable priced, small and light weight, good close up to infinity and nice bokeh.
Summary: Just got this lens not long ago and gosh, trust me, this is 1 of the sharpest and cheapest prime lens with Micro ability that Nikon ever produced! I compared it with my 35mm 1.8G and 50mm 1.8D, this 40mm 2.8G truly slashed them all like a sharp katana! Image is sharp from f/2.8 all the way until f/16 !! The only down side is the AF speed but I can live with it. Trust me, it performed unlike any other upper hand kit lens or prime lens in its league...this lens has got the ability to shoot from as near as 1.5inch all the way until Infinity for landscape! No regret getting this lens.

Cons: wide open some vignetting and in the corners not as sharp as in the center
Pros: very sharp in the image center, borders and corners show very good resolution and no relevant vignetting when slightly stopped down
Summary: high value for little money: compact, light-weight, my normal prime on a DX camera with the additional marco feature
