I'm not a Nikoner, but why wouldn't the 1.8 focus on your D40

The D40 doesn't have the a built-in focus motor, so only Nikon AF-S or Sigma HSM lenses will auto focus. I didn't think it would matter THAT much before I bought the D40, but now I'm kinda regretting getting it.
As for a portrait lens, even with the 1.6x crop factor, will the 30mm still be too short for portraits? That should give me 48mm vs 80mm for the 50mm.
I keep reading rumours about Nikon releasing a 50mm AF-S lens soon, does anyone know anything about it? Some say it will be a 1.8, others say it'll be a 1.2. If it's the latter, then that doesn't do me any good cuz that'll be way out of my budget.

loll short explanation is, d40 doesn't have the AF screw. only sonic motors work with the d40/x. thats why i never looked at a d40 seriously. i was lookin at a d50 but they ran out b4 i cud get my hands on one

I'm also looking for a macro lens...anyone used a Sigma 50mm f2.8 1:1? It's relatively cheap compared to some other options.

Woooot, I just got my first prime. The Sigma 30mm 1.4. Damn, this lens to sharp, a big improvement of the 3.5-5.6 of my kit lenses, I didn't realize how important having a large apperature is, especially in low light. I guess I was brain washed by Ken Rockwell thinking that VR is good enough. I shoulda got this lens before getting the Nikon 18-200VR.

p.s i don't particularly shoot certain objects just looking for an all-rounder that i can use for portraits, automotive, scenery, etc.
TIA | The new Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC OS AF is getting good reviews. It's not the same lens optically as the older 18-200mm, much improved.

ok guys i need a good wide or ultra wide angle lens for events at night for my Canon 30D.
so nice big aperture opening would be nice but needs to be affordable also. i'm not rich lol!!!
what's the best bang for your buck do you guys think that takes clear pics?
any suggestions of what lens and where its being sold cheap, used or brand new is fine.
thanks a lot!!!

I've used the 12-24 tokina before and was happy with it. Find it used on fredmiranda is my recommendation. If you use flash a lot at the club then you don't really need the fast f stop, plus you probably won't notice it so much on a super wide angle.

He doesn't use flash at a club ( AFAIK), and you never really should. It ruins the ambiance

hey guys.
i want to buy a new Lens. My 17-85 Bores Me. Now i am considering buying Canon L Lenses. I love their design and the RED RING. the next L Lens i am going to probably buy is the 70-200 F4L Lens. Can anyone comment on this lens? I am having a hard time deciding between the F4L or the F2.8L Lens. Thanks for your help! And does the IS really matter?
I heard the best walk around Lens is the 28-70 f2.8L Lens.
Thanks for your help!

Hmm would this be a good upgrade for the kit xti lens. It has IS: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-18-..._rhf_f_i_k2a_3
I read a few reviews and it said that it still uses cheap plastic. However the price looks really good.

Its the same cheap kit lens with IS. they should have just left the regular kit lens alone and spent the money developing a better lens altogether

It may seem like the kit lens + IS, but the reviews + MTF for the new canon 18-55 IS has been great. The new IS seems pretty neat too - apparently it's completely silent and claims to be good enough for a gain equivalent of up to 4-stops. http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/len...56is/index.htm
I think you should get it, Michelin. For the price, you can't really go wrong.

Just bought a Pentax K10D and a 18-55mm lens for it.
What other lens should a beginner think about for this camera?

Hey guys. Brand new to the game here. Just got a Rebel XTI as a christmas gift and I want some advice. I am looking for a "do-it-all" or "do-most" lens that will keep me busy learning. My budget is low so the cheaper the better. I am interested in outdoor photography but also some portrait stuff too.
Now please be nice as I'm totally new. Thanks!

The Tamron 18-250 seems to be an awesome lens in its range. About $500. The Tamron 18-200 is about $400.
The Sigma 18-200 OS lens is about $600.
