Reasonably Priced and Gives Superb Results
There are a lot of excellent photographers out there with legacy Nikon glass that do not care for these modern, lightweight ‘plastic’ lenses. Being a chap of a certain age, I appreciate the weight/cost saving and, without prejudice the excellent optical performance this lens can produce. In particular, I had been researching a suitable micro lens to partner with the ES-1 slide copier. It seems to be a well-kept secret that you can very successfully copy sides/B&W negs with a DX camera, although Nikon insists that the more expensive ES-2 Camera kit (ideally suited for use with the Nikon D850) plus extension tubes and a 60mm micro Nikkor is the only way to go. It may be more sophisticated, but it is rather pricy. The ES-1 adapter (52mm thread) screws directly onto the front of this lens and keeps things nice and simple. The digitization results I have obtained far exceed any flatbed scanner I have used, and you have the option of producing a camera RAW file that will allow further manipulation in Photoshop.Read full review

Super All-Rounder!
Lovely general-purpose lens for those native 50mm shooters. Slightly longer on DX (~60mm equivalent) but a lovely focal-length. Does slightly larger than 1:1 macro and as a result, it's a great lens for close work. Shorter than I'd use for purely dedicated macro as it's easy to get in the way of your own light, but with care and a little manoeuvring, it's more than possible to get well-lit macros. Oh.. this lens is sharp at non macro distances from 2.8. Astounding considering its low cost. Definite thumbs up and glad that I purchased one.Read full review

Sharp, versatile lens
It’s a budget micro (macro) lens. Great for portraiture photography too. Plastic exterior but with metal mount. Not the quickest but it’s great for the value. Recommended.

Awesome lens for the money
Superb image quality and versatile; Brilliant for macro as well as portraits. Feels a little plasticy, but performs superbly, and for the price - amazing. Glad I went for 40mm, over 35 or 50mm, as a better all rounder.Read full review

Excellent product, highly recommended.
I have had this lens a short while now and I absolutely love it. I have found it to be very sharp and I love how close I can focus.
It has opened up a whole new world of macro for me.
