In summary, the lens is compact, light-weight, affordable and, most important, optically very good. In addition, it doubles as a normal prime on a DX camera. The lens is certainly recommended for anyone tempted to try macro photography with a limited budget. Due the very short working distance (front lens to subject) it's certainly not the best choice to shoot shy creatures. However, that kind of subject isn't really suitable for macro starters anyway.

What is there not to like about this 40mm macro optic from Nikon? It's lightweight, compact and delivers images with excellent sharpness and contrast with low distortion, falloff and chromatic aberrations. Priced at around £250, it represents excellent value for money, especially for those looking for a decent introduction to macro photography, especially if the short working distance isn't an issue for you.

Small, economical and excellent performance - there's a lot to like here. Nikon markets this lens as an introduction to macro photography, and I think they've done very well here to make that happen. Macro enthusiasts may want a bit more working room to accommodate lights and modifiers, but for a small lens that's easy to work with, you can't go wrong for the price.
