Customer Ratings & Reviews

This lens provides great value. The quality of the images it produces in such an inexpensive lens is amazing. It is also super compact and a unique focal length which makes for a great everyday lens.

I expected it to be less sharp based on youtube reviews from pixel peepers but I’m actually impressed from this plasticy little lens. Feels cheap but it performs like a champ. I’m also liking this 40mm view more and more over the 50. Definitely not missing my D lens and it’s loud noises. Someone mentioned no VR and guess what, my 85 1.8s doesn’t either but your Z camera does!

Great lens. Very compact and light. Not quite as good as the 50 1.8 but for convenience it hits above its weight. Excellent price as well.

Great lens. Inexpensive, small and lightweight. Sharp enough and image quality is easily good enough for professional jobs if need be. The build quality isn’t on par with S lenses but it still is nice. Very quiet and quick focusing, almost instant on my Z5. I hope nikon builds more of these for us people who don’t want to spend $1k on S lenses. Like an 85mm or 135mm. That would be sweet.

Great lens. Great quality. It's super lite and is a great lens for casual shooting.

This lens it lightweight but the glass is very sharp, even wide open. This lens lives on my Nikon ZF.

Very good prime lens. Highly recommend. Works great in low light situations.

Love the quality of images and it helps make my Z6 look pretty good too. This is the perfect little lens as an all around shooter. I've even used it to shoot stars at night on a tripod and it was mind blowing how good it was for how affordable it is. Its super good with portraits too

Great lens, very useful with great bokeh. I wanted something to challenge myself and this focal length is great.

What an incredible lens for the price. I’m able to take great pictures with my Nikon z5 and this lens. Photos come out looking professional and I impress my family and friends.

The lens works well on the Nikon Z30. The photos render great colors and very good image quality.

Best of what you can get for the price. Light weight, plastic design, crisp sharpness

My go-to lens on my Z6. impressive background-blurring, Very compact and light. Seems a bit overpriced for the build quality but that doesn't bother me. Something a bit wider for street photography would be nice but I'll take the F2 aperture over the 28mm/F2.8 lens.

I'm very happy with this lens. I just had a photoshoot and the lens performed beyond my expectations. The previous photoshoot I used a 85mm and it left me knowing I needed more background. This lens did just that. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

Nikon hit us out of the park with this little lens. It gives your photos kind of like a 3D pop. Satiation and sharpness are great. Great lens for the price.

Great prime lens for full-frame Nikon mirrorless cameras.

Sharp little lens, not so heavy or cumbersome. great focal length for street photography. Reminds me of my Leica rangefinders with a 35mm. Not attention drawing but great images. Sharp, contrasty. Real Bargain.

Wow, this lens is sharp. Great images I was shocked as it was inexpensive. Loving the z system. Been a Nikon user for years and they continue to make quality products.

great little lens! i would recommend it, it is a must have.

Great lens I use it for when I’m on the go. Can be used Food photography and portrait. All useful for photographing in smaller areas
