Get Closer To Clarity: The New Nikon AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Brings Fast Macro Ability to DX Format Shooters
Images packed with stunning detail and amazing sharpness have never been so near
Mississauga, ON, July 12, 2011 – Today Nikon Canada introduced the new lightweight and versatile AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens to provide Nikon DX-format shooters macro capabilities at an affordable price point. Ideal for intimate details or general portraiture, the new AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 0.163m (6.4 inches) to allow users to capture extreme close-up photographs and High Definition (HD) video with a life-size 1:1 reproduction ratio.
“Our new NIKKOR lens lets users explore a totally new perspective, whether it’s extreme close-up detail or general still images and movies with pleasing out-of-focus elements,” said Gregory Flasch, National Advertising and Communications Manager, Nikon Canada. “It’s an ideal accessory lens delivering new and added versatility to the Nikon DX-format digital SLR system and provides DX-format shooters with compact optics that deliver excellent colour reproduction and stunning sharpness.”
Weighing in at approximately 235g, the extremely compact and lightweight lens is an ideal complement to any DX-format shooter’s growing digital SLR kit. The natural focal length (60mm, FX equivalent) and large f/2.8 aperture are ideal for a wide variety of applications, whether capturing close-up details in flowers and insects or shooting flattering portraiture with a pleasing bokeh.
For fast and whisper-quiet autofocus operation, the new 40mm Micro lens also features Nikon’s exclusive Silent Wave Motor technology, which allows photographers to get even closer without disturbing a subject.
Along with manual focus, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm offers manual-priority autofocus (M/A) that lets users quickly and easily switch focus modes without changing settings. To help ensure amazing lens performance at close distances, this new lens employs Nikon’s Close-Range Correction System. With this system, the lens elements are configured in a “floating” design wherein each lens group moves independently to help achieve critical focus. Additionally, Nikon’s Super Integrated Coatings are applied to help reduce instances of lens flare and ghosting. The seven blade diaphragm also helps to create a more natural out-of-focus component.
The versatile and compact nature of the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G lens, combined with its affordability, makes it a great travel companion for any DX-format D-SLR, including the new Nikon D5100 and popular D3100.
Price and Availability
The versatile AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G is scheduled to be available at Authorized Nikon Canada Dealers in late August at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $299.95. For more information, please visit www.nikon.ca.
