Macro Photography (Nikkor 40mm Micro F/2.8 DX Lens)

I started testing out the Nikkor 40mm Micro Lens F/2.8 DX (Nikon's Macro lens).  I paired the lens with a Nikon D5100.

It works well as a 1:1 Macro lens and takes decent general 40mm shots as well.  With an f/2.8, it handles most normal lighting well.  I do miss the f/1.8 of the 35mm prime but this lens allows for some closer shots.  For those really interested in macro photography a longer lens might be needed as getting in close can cause shadows.
