    This is a really good lens. At f2 it still has a wide open aperture giving a really nice bokeh affect. The focus is sharp amd fast. Feels like a solid build even though its plastic. Great value for its price.

    Great Z lens for the price! Lightweight, prime lens, at f2 max aperture! The ring is a little to sensitive, so I had to turn it off.

    I have not had as many use cases for the 40mm f/2 lens Z mount lens. I have enjoyed it for its more compact form when traveling. Overall it is great lens but one that I have not used as much as other Z lens to date.

    You prob don't need this if you have the kit lens

    If you already have the kit lens, you may want to pass on this unless you really need the f2. It's not that this lens is bad, it's actually excellent, but it's just that nikon made a really good kit lens. So you will not see an improvement in quality. I got this anyways because I like blurry backgrounds for my portraits and I like shooting prime in general

    It gets the job done but im not a fan if this focal length. Its not wide enough to be useful or long enough to be intereefing. If you cant afford something else, youll still good pictures. But i would recommend a different lens.

    this lens is outstanding at its price point making it a value leader. There are “better” options but they will be more expensive, or lack features.
