Released earlier this month, The Nikon AF-S DX Micro 40mm f/2.8 is a lens for DX formatted Nikon dSLRs that allow you to get up close and personal with your subject.

As a micro lens you will be able to focus up to 16cm (~ 6. inches) and the short depth of field possible with an f/2.8 lens will allow to you easily control the blur around your image. A Silent Wave Motor (SWM) gives you quiet autofocus to limit disturbances to any small animals and insects you may be photographing.
