>>282232 Second or third? More like first, second or third. 35/2 would make a nice normal.
Also 28/2.8 as another normal, 24/2.8 as a wide or even as a standard-though-wider-than-normal like a lot of people do, 20/2.8 as a wide.
And that's just current production Nikkors.
The D40 not having a focus motor is ridiculous. It'd be fine if they just gave it a decent viewfinder, but they didn't. In other words, someone looking for a classic general-purpose prime setup (say, 20/24-28/35-50, or 24-50, or 20/24/35, etc.) would be SOL for autofocusing on the D40 and SOL for manual focusing. For a normal, they'd have precisely one lens to pick from, the large and costlier 30/1.4 Sigma. For a medium tele, they'd have two, the 50/1.4 Sigma and the new Nikkor 50/1.4, both costlier than alternatives and larger. There aren't any options for a wide.
I also don't get why everyone thinks only entry-level people are interested in a small, compact body the size of the D60 or Rebel or whatever.
