Nikon 40mm f/2.8 G DX AF-S Micro-Nikkor Lens with 7 UV/FLD/CPL & Close-up Filters + Macro Tripod + Cleaning Kit

Get closer to clarity: fast macro ability for DX-format shooters.

This AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G close-up lens captures stunning details at any distance including details practically impossible to detect with the human eye at 1X magnification. Small enough to be carried everywhere, this standard focal length DX-format Micro-NIKKOR lens provides high resolution and contrast from infinity to life-size.

This lens is perfect for taking high quality stills and HD movies and is ideal for shooting general close-ups, delicate flowers, detailed collectables, copy photography, portraits, landscapes and more. Some features included are Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM), Super Integrated Coating (SIC) for optimized color correction, a close-range correction system (CRC), and a diaphragm composed of seven curved blades for improved levels of natural-looking bokeh.

Key Features:

Sharp images from infinity to life-size
This standard close-up lens captures the finest details at any distance, including details practically impossible to detect with the human eye (at 1X magnification). It's a great choice for enticing food photography or detailed product shots. And with its continuous autofocusing from infinity to 6.4 inches (life-size/1X), the AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G ensures sharpness and clarity in every composition.

Stunning portraits and landscapes, too!
The AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is compact, lightweight and versatile enough for everyday photography, including flattering people shots and breathtaking landscapes, so you get brilliant results in most situations without switching lenses.

Natural Background Blur (Bokeh):
Whether you're shooting portraits, food or nature – indoors or outdoors – the AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G's rounded 7-blade diaphragm renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings. Selective focus helps to isolate the subject, creating out of focus backgrounds.

Superior Close Range Focusing:
The Close-Range Correction system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations. Using an innovative floating element design, each lens group moves independently to achieve superior performance at close distances.

Quiet Autofocus:
A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon's Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations – rather than a gear system – to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation.

Quick Switching from AF to MF:
When fine manual focusing is needed, simply rotate the lens focus ring – M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag.

Reduce Lens Flare and Ghosting:
Nikon's Super Integrated Coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced lens flare.

High-quality, all-glass filters at an affordable price

These lens filters are made from the finest optical glass, are ground and polished to the most practical thinness, and are heat-treated to avoid any distortion or focal shift. Each filter is subject to strict tests in order to ensure a flawless, even surface, which is essential to a quality filter and exceptional photographs.

Lens filters are one of the least expensive accessories you can use to make big changes in the way your pictures look. This particular filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters (UV, CPL & FLD) no photographer should be without.

Kit Includes:

UV (Ultraviolet) Filter
A UV filter is used to reduce ultraviolet rays and produce crisp, clear photographs. UV filters are commonly used to help protect the surface of the lens from scratches, smudges, dirt and other hazards.

CPL (Circular Polarizer) Filter
A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies.

FLD (Fluorescent Light Correction) Filter
An FLD filter provides the perfect solution for obtaining pleasing skin tones and correct color while shooting without a flash under fluorescent lighting. This filter gives true-to-life color rendition by removing the harsh yellow-green cast ordinarily resulting from fluorescent bulbs. When shooting under natural light, a fluorescent filter dramatically increases color saturation of subjects such as sunrises and sunsets.

Essential items for the proper maintenance of your equipment

It's obvious that the cleaner the lens and camera sensor, the sharper your pictures will be. Dirt, dust, and fingerprints will degrade the image quality of even the finest optics. However, it's equally important to avoid using incorrect cleaning materials which can permanently damage your photo equipment.

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses and digital SLR camera, including an air blower, soft brush, cleaning solution, lens tissues, cotton swabs, and a microfiber cloth. Also includes a soft carrying pouch.
