New Auto Focus 50mm Prime Lens For your D40, D40x & D60

Sigma has added a new 50mm prime lens to its DG range of optics, compatible with both full-frame and APS-C sized sensors. The 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM features a molded aspherical element and multi-layer coatings, while its Hypersonic Motor (HSM) ensures it will autofocus with Nikon's motorless bodies – namely the D40, D40x and D60. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm and a maximum magnification factor of 1:7.4, while its EX designation means that it sits in the company's professional range of lenses. The lens will be available in Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony mounts, though autofocusing will only operate on Pentax and Sony bodies that support its Hypersonic Motor. Details of pricing and availability are yet to be made available.

Nikon D40/x Vibration Reduction Lenses (VR)

Well when I bought my D40 Kit it came with the Non-VR 18-55mm lens and the VR 55-200mm lens. I love both lens especially for me the beginner but I find myself using the 200mm VR lens much more then the non-VR 55mm Lens. Now all I want is the big 70-300mm VR lens. I want to zoom, zoom, zoom. I read nothing but good reviews on this lens and cant wait to get one. Costco has it for $499 So if I sell my 55-200 VR for say $200 then I can upgrade to the 70-300 mm VR for only $300 bucks! I like that idea. Nikon has also come out with a new version of the 18-55mm Lens in a VR model with I might end up trading my non-VR 18-55mm lens for. So for the beginner I'd say these 3 VRML lenses will help us take better pictures with out spending our retirement saving for a lens.
