No Auto Focus ?

[rodman]

I've got a D40 and am planning on getting the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Lens, but I know that I will not be able to Auto Focus.

Is there anyone else in a similar situation? If so how difficult or annoying is it to always have to manual focus?

This is one reason why I am thinking of trading my D40 to a Nikon that can use the Auto Focus of this lens. Or I can fork up the money and get the new Nikkor AF-S 50mm 1.4G.

But if I have to spend the $ I think I'd go for the camera upgrade.

umm am i missing something? last time i looked at my d40 it was a nikon... as for focusing with the 50mm as long as your eye sight is ok, you should be able to do it.. but auto focus is nicer!!

"trading my D40 for a D90"

ah, that makes more sense!!! if you can get a decent price for your d40, its obviously a good idea to upgrade.. d90 is a far better camera
