Must have for any Z body owner. This is the best travel lens you will ever buy for the Nikon Z system. It's not the sharpest up close at F2 for something like a tight head shot, but it has beautiful character in those scenarios and very vintage rendering. I used to use a 50 1.8G that wasn't sharp unless I stopped it down to 2.8. This 40 is sharper at F2 than my old 50 at 2.8 ever was. Wonderful for most uses especially low light.

I purchased the Nikon 40mm f/4 to try out the Nikon ZF, and the lens impressed me more than the camera body. I have no complain about sharpness, or the corners. If it was weather sealed, I’d be an easy recommendation for professional work. I shoot mostly in low light scenarios and at f/2, it was amazing. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for an inexpensive, small, capable lens to start a Nikon photo journey.

Best standard prime for the money on any mirrorless system. Beautiful optic, plastic but extraordinarily sturdy and light. Excellent bokeh quality with minimal to no cat's-eye effect. Closer to the human eye than 50mm.
