Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sharp, fast, silent. It is very small and light. Excellent price too. Highly recommended for any Z camera whether it’s full frame or crop sensor. Only downside is no VR, but that is fine.

After reading and watching reviews online, I decided to pull the plug and get this compact lens. Wow, so amazing. I did not think it would be this great. This lens would blow any of the old G lenses out of the water in the image quality department. Bokeh has character and except for being a little noisy, it can be used for about anything. Good enough for environmental portraits and personal/family documenting. Only downside is the plastic mount and construction, I don't know if I want to be removing and re-mounting this lens too much, the mount seems to get frayed with use.

Very sharp and light, excellent for travel/street photography. Nice, pleasing bokeh in portraits.

Just buy it , works like a dream and light as a feather. Image quality is just much more than you could imagine, I have no regrets. Price is right, lens is great, I usually do not buy these type of items from bestbuy but it actually is cheaper here minus shipping time and all. It even has super great insurance for less than 40 for the bestbuy 40mm which I can bring into store for replacement (I highlydoubti will need it but ya never know)

Excellent lens. What made this a great buy was not only the sale price but the assistance I received from the staff. Thanks again Best Buy!

This is basically the cheapest Nikon Z full frame lens you can buy, but don’t let that fool you. It’s an excellent lens. It will also work on your Nikon Z crop sensor cameras. It’s truly fantastic if you want a light set up for walking around.

A small, but very capable lens. I purchased this lens because it wasn’t very expensive compared to other Nikon lenses but I was totally impressed. I have it on a z6iii and I use it as an everyday lens

Nikon makes some bangers and this is an affordable one! Nice everyday sharp lens!

Was especting less for the amount i paid, but was pleasently surprised its super light weight and very sharp great lens for my nikon zf camera

An excellent lens for indoor shots with low lighting. Ordered this for an Easter family shoot with me receiving it about 32 hours after ordering on line. Excellent service.

40mm lens in general are amazing for street photography, but Nikon really did amazing with those one. Super sharp images and f/2 for only $250? It's simply amazing.

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

Best small lens for the Nikon Z series cameras. Ultra compact, great low light shots, fast lens, and great price.

Excellent fixed lens for a Nikon Z camera. Produces excellent quality blow-ups or zoom-ins. Works well in low light.

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.

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

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

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.
