Retailing from 25 August, the AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G offers a picture angle equivalent to 60mm on full-frame format digital SLRs. It features a Nikon's Silent Wave Motor and measures 68.5 x 64.5mm.

"This specialised macro lens lets you capture intricate details that are impossible to capture with a regular kit lens," claims Zurab Kiknadze, product manager lenses, accessories and software at Nikon Europe. "It's an affordable way to discover the world of macro photography and is even versatile enough not to limit photographers to that particular subject."
 
The AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G will retail at £250 (€290). Visit www.nikon.co.uk.
