- 60mm (35mm Equivalent)
- Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
- Super Integrated Coating
Excelling at close distances, the AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G from Nikon is a 60mm-equivalent macro prime offering a 1:1 life-size maximum magnification along with a 6.4" minimum focusing distance. Benefitting both close-up shooting as well as working at greater distances, the optical design uses a Close Range Correction system that maintains consistent image quality and sharpness throughout the focusing range. Individual elements also feature a Super Integrated Coating, which suppresses flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity and harsh lighting conditions. Additionally, complementing the imaging capabilities, a Silent Wave Motor affords fast and precise autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override, to benefit both stills and video applications.

question
Will this lens work on a D4 and is it full frame
The Nikon AF-S 40mm f/2.8 macro lens, is a DX format lens. While technically you could use it on the D4, the D4 would crop down to DX mode. So, as this is not a full frame lens, it would not be the best choice for a macro lens on the D4. You might look at the Nikon 105mm f/2.8 macro lens (B&H # NI10528GAF). It would be an excellent option for a full frame camera.

Is this lens compatible to D750?
Is this lens compatible to D750?
It is compatible with the D750 but with some limitations. This lens is a DX lens and the D750 is an FX (full frame) camera and so when using this lens, you will only use part of the sensor, reducing the resolution by 40%.

question
I know the barrel of this lens will extend and retract while focusing, but does the barrel rotate while focusing?
The barrel of the 40mm f/2.8 lens will not rotate while focusing. This means that using a circular polarizer or variable ND is possible.
