Cons: AF speed is slightly slower especially during low light / dimmer condition.

Pros: This lens is as sharp as the katana! Reasonable priced, small and light weight, good close up to infinity and nice bokeh.

Summary: Just got this lens not long ago and gosh, trust me, this is 1 of the sharpest and cheapest prime lens with Micro ability that Nikon ever produced! I compared it with my 35mm 1.8G and 50mm 1.8D, this 40mm 2.8G truly slashed them all like a sharp katana! Image is sharp from f/2.8 all the way until f/16 !! The only down side is the AF speed but I can live with it. Trust me, it performed unlike any other upper hand kit lens or prime lens in its league...this lens has got the ability to shoot from as near as 1.5inch all the way until Infinity for landscape! No regret getting this lens.

Cons: wide open some vignetting and in the corners not as sharp as in the center

Pros: very sharp in the image center, borders and corners show very good resolution and no relevant vignetting when slightly stopped down

Summary: high value for little money: compact, light-weight, my normal prime on a DX camera with the additional marco feature
