Can you show any sample of corner quality / sharpness / aberration / when this 40mm micro Nikkor is used for slide digitisation?
Quality in center is impressive, but what about corners / extreme corners?
Spent a lot of time with this lens before ultimately choosing the Tokina AT-X Pro Macro 35 f/2.8 DX for this type of work. In addition to finding it an all-around more solidly built piece, it’s proven both more versatile when generally needed and better performing in close-up work I do in photographing wristwatches.
But a winner over the Nikkor lens you’ve reviewed here by only the thinnest of margins.

If this lens is sharper than the 50 1.4G it will be a good cheap lens for DX users.
