Pros: Dimensions, Brightness, Tropicalization

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Taken to use it in situations where I have to shoot with the least volume of equipment on me (some holidays, street photography) and I want something even smaller than 50mm or 24mm, I found it impeccable for what it offers. I don't think it's as revolutionary as maybe the 50mm f/1.8 G was when it came out for F mount (which had a very similar launch price and size), but I struggle to find faults for the range of use it covers. If you have the same requirements as me I find it better than the 28mm (I have not tried the 26mm which however has another type of price). If you care more about the final bare and raw yield and you can sacrifice a little space and a little more money, the 50mm f/1.8 (Z) is obviously a whole other world.

Pros: Size, performance, price

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: I had tried the 50mm 1.8 for Z, but I returned it, ok the PRO performance, but the price is definitely too high; For many, the photo is a hobby and we often have to settle for it if certain expenses are not possible in the family budget. Luckily I decided to try this 40mm f2 for Z: I was completely satisfied with the exceptional quality and yield of the shots. Considering the small size, as well as a negligible weight, this lens is now my favorite. I recommend everyone at least to try it.

Pros: Size, brightness, price.

Cons: Nothing considering the pros.

Opinion: The 28 mm and 40 mm combination makes the high-performance Z6 and Z7 light and small. I also own 2.8 lenses but practically impossible to take on demanding trips for size and weight. The 40 mm is versatile suitable for night photos, street and the performance is excellent, especially considering the price. I also own the 50 mm 1.8 for Z but much heavier and bulkier (about double). An optics that can not miss in the kit and once used will hardly go in the bag.

Pros: weight and compactness

Cons: not having it

Opinion: A very comfortable lens to carry with you, qualitatively it has nothing to envy to the most 'emblazoned 50 1.8 s that however' costs twice as much. Friend of my walks with the z6 is in a very small handbag and becomes a kind of mobile phone with more 'quality' ff. I also had the 50 but it does not have its handling and portability and on the other hand the optical quality does not differ much. Difficult to find better considering the price. ah it also makes the stars ... even if someone denies it.

Pros: Exceptional price/performance ratio. Sharpness. Tropicalization.

Cons: Nothing taking into account the above. To look for the classic hair in the egg, good autofocus but not a splinter; lack of a dedicated hood included in the package.

Opinion: I bought before Christmas the Nikkor Z 40/2 and I must say immediately that, after three months, the judgment is very positive and overall satisfies me. The focal length of 40 mm you have to get used to, being about halfway between the most "normal" focal lengths of 35 mm and 50 mm that photographers are used to but, after a first use, you get used to it immediately (at least so it was for me). Very convenient price and also the relationship with the performance that is obtained; therefore, the "quarrel" about the "plasticity" of the construction is useless. Optically it is very sharp in the center practically on the entire frame, even when shooting at f/2; the performance at the edges is, however, optimal from f/4 to f/11. The best total results are obtained at f 5.6 - 8 Beautiful blurry. When I go out with the camera without a precise target, I have always mounted it and it pays off in terms of lightness, small footprint and - if necessary - brilliant performance. In short, a compact and lightweight lens ideal as a main walking lens or as a light second lens.

Pros: I find it fantastic, indisputable value for money, I love its small flaws.

Cons: Maybe the missing hood, but personally I wouldn't use it anyway. Slight loss at full aperture but fantastic in portraits.

Opinion: I attached it to my nikon z6 and I never took it off, I have fun to die for, fantastic bokeh, at f5.6 is exceptional, I do not see any collapse at the edges, as they describe on Youtube, apart from full aperture, I sold the z 35mm 1.8 and I took the 28mm and 40mm, well! One of the best choices I've ever made. Finally a lens that has a bit of character. I seem to be going back to the fifty I had on the f5 but with a little more angle that in my opinion is perfect for all-rounders.

Pros: Lightness, colors, blurry, sharpness at f/5.6, spectacular for videos.

Cons: Autofocus not always precise, not excellent sharpness at f/2 (but not even to be thrown away), slight chromatic aberration.

Opinion: Objective that has its why. Beautiful lens to take around the street, urban landscape (it can also be very sharp at intermediate diaphragms), good for close-ups (very pleasant blurry) and above all surprising for videos, very three-dimensional. On the other hand, the autofocus is not always accurate, it is certainly not an f/2 blade and shows a slight (but evident) chromatic aberration at TA. With a little more experience in using it I will be able to tell you more

Pros: Small and light, fantastic blurry, f/2 aperture, satisfying AF, for what brings me out the price is ridiculous

Cons: Lack of hood, images sometimes a bit 'soft but pleasant.

Opinion: For the price at which it is sold, I hope not to hear about plasticity or other such menates. At the time of SLRs I have always looked for a lens with these characteristics but with F mount there was nothing. I replaced the much more expensive 35mm f/1.8 for this very compact 40 and I have a lot of fun, especially in the dark. Only problem is that it makes me leave the small LX100 II just taken for how much, although it has a fixed focal length, it is versatile and light

Pros: Compact, Bright, Tropicalized, Quiet, Exceptional QP Ratio

Cons: AF Slow, absence of a standard hood but only purchased separately.

Opinion: Bought recently I write this hot review, since I saw that mom Nikon had published his release I fell in love with it, and after seeing the cost I promised myself that it would be mine. Small, compact, a lens that does not give in the eye, very useful for those who "steal" photos, very light, is the ideal friend of the amateur photo that on Sundays, while going out with the family, does not give up carrying the camera with him to impress the most beautiful moments without having to resort to the smartphone. Slow autofocus and optical quality not from S Line Nikkor, but for 1/3 of the cost of 35mm 1.8 Nikkor, and 100 euros less than third-party optics you take home a phenomenal toy. At full aperture it brings a soft blur, it reminds me a lot of vintage lenses such as the helios 44-2, at f7.1 it gives the best of itself with a very good incisiveness in the details. Love at first sight
