Bigger isn’t always
better. When you want to travel light or shoot candidly without drawing attention to yourself, compactness is key. This 40mm f/2 lens fits the bill perfectly, being a mere slip of a thing at just 46mm in length and 170g in weight. The price tag is also refreshingly lightweight and, despite being an own-brand Nikon lens, it’s the most inexpensive in the whole group.
