Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very affordable lens and great for a beginner, daughter loves it.

needed more lenses for my camera, variety is the spice of life.

This lens is the best for beginner to macro photography.

Out gives decent pictures but not the crisp clarity expected with a macro

Picked out this macro because of the price- if I had to do it again I would pay more for a better lens. It’s fine, but not great.

It’s well built for the money but it takes a steady hand to get s good picture with it.

It performs the same as a standard zoom lens, you just don't need to, y'know, zoom in.

I got the hood broken. May be it got broken during shifting.

Im just starting out as a photographer and looking to get better. Im learning to take different shots and one type im interested in is macro. This lens is great for getting some real up close shots. Things stay in focus, really nice bokeh, well detailed shots, and i plan on using this lens alot more often. Great lens for a nikon d3100!!!

perfect as micro lens for Nikon camera, comes with protector case,

Bought this as a macro lens, I'm able to get within 6 inchs of my subject and still focus. An added bonus was the ability to take great shots without a flash in low light situations. A little more than I wanted to spend when I went in looking, but, the salesperson I was working with said this was the better lens and I would be happier. She was right.

I have loved the photographs I have taken with this lens on my D5100. The lens is easy to use. As a newcomer to DSLR photography, I couldn't be happier with the results.

I ended up buying this lens but returning it after a few weeks. Anybody who works with macro photography will tell you that anything less than 85mm isn't recommended for macro photography. This 40mm lens blocks most of the natural light you need while taking pictures because you need to be ONE INCH away from your subject to really use it at its potential. While it takes amazing pics, the fact that you're too close to your subject and blocks out yoru light, as well as the body-flash and external flashes. I'd recommend the 85mm or the 105mm (for sure)

Great macro lense. I use it on a Nikon D7000. It performs at a premium level and for the price you can't beat it. This lens also has metal mounting, instead of plastic, so it's very durable when compared to the average kit lens that comes with most DSLR's.

we got this lens as we need to take close up pictures which show clear detail. the pictures come out nicely!
