Along with the 85mm f/1.4, this is the fastest auto focus lens that Nikon currently manufactures. It has recently been updated to AF-S with SWM, which means that the auto focus is not only fully functional on all Nikon bodies including the D40 and D60, but it is amazingly fast and nearly silent too.

Its "normal" field of view and very fast maximum aperture make this is the premier go-to lens for portraiture, travel, wedding, and low-light event photography. No matter what you're shooting, the optical design ensures beautiful results.

Features:

• Ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows you to shoot in much lower light conditions than is possible with most lenses. Plus, the shallow depth of field gives you amazing artistic control over your focus point.
• Close focuses to 18 inches, giving you excellent creative freedom in your composition.
• An excellent lens for travel due to its size & weight (approximately 2" x 3" and less than 10oz)
• 9-blade rounded aperture for pleasing out-of-focus highlights (bokeh)
• 58mm filter size

Your rental comes with the factory lens hood and front & rear caps.
