The 28-80 is a little on the slow side but it fine as a walk around lens and if something is really off the wall but you don't have time to switch primes or move much this lens will get the lens job done I find. I use it for about 5-10% of my shots only. I have been pleased. Its not easy finding a better lens cheaper. The 1.8 D is a pro quality lens and very cheap as mentioned.

It really is that cheap? I gotta look at it then. Too bad I have a D40, and after AlphaNikonRex nearly destroyed his D70's AF clip thingy by mounting a 50mm 1.2, I'm wary of that.Actually, I'm pretty sure you can mount any lens on your D40 with no worries at all, including pre-AI lenses. At least, that's the case for my D60 from what I've heard. I'd look into it first, to be sure, though.

You can mount any F mount lens on a D40, D60 or D5000.

Plus there's the FM2.

Ahhh yes our good buddy Ken. I used to like his posts about a year ago but he got a little too "out there for me." Some of his reviews are still good though..
