The one and only wide aperture prime for the D40 that will autofocus is the Sigma 30mm HSM. $400.
That's the one.http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-30mm-Nikon-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0007U0H06/ref=sr_1_1/104-3884143-6463161?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1191450232&sr=8-1
I do not know too much about glass, but I have a D40 and this is the first lens I am planning on getting.
No one is going to go to that black hole. The joke is over.
as i told you, predictability doesn't suit you.I got neg-repped for that? WTF?
http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/download.htmhow can i check how many shutter actuations i have made on my d40 i know there is easily over 10k
Nikons do the same, sequentially in total or per card format.not sure if nikon works the same way, but i've set my canon to number the images sequentially. i'm at about 24K in the 12 months i've had my 30D.
Adobe. Lightroom.How do people edit through over 1000 images /day? I consider myself a fast editor, I can get an initial take of 150 or so images down to 20 in a matter of minutes, but there's no fvcking way I can deal with 10k per week.
Most I've ever shot in a day was 2880 (1 frame every 30sec. for 24 hours) and they just got dumped into FinalCut Pro.
Blue, to answer your question, you're fvcked in low light. You can't really utilise Nikon's fast primes and you can't bump up the ISO enough to use a slow zoom. Start carrying a tripod and learning to manualy focus. You are in luck for macro though, the 105VR is a great lens, but a pricey one, combine that with some extension tubes and you'll be set.
I don't thing the Pomeranian idiot is editing anything. Looks like he just machine guns the shutter and then posts em up.How do people edit through over 1000 images /day?
If he's learning to manually focus he sure as heck can use all of Nikon's fast primes...Start carrying a tripod and learning to manualy focus.

Nice shot...How low is very? Just indoors, dark outside, any interior lighting...I ask as I absolutely love handholding for taking pictures. Tripods really cut down on the volume of stuff I shoot, I've noticed, simply because it's a massive PITA to transport and setup a shot with one. At least in abandoned buildings where you're always under threat of getting chased/spooked by the proverbial "man".D40 -
Very low light, manually focused w/ that 50mm f/1.8 - 1/40" @ ISO 200.
If you hunt around the f/1.4's are on eBay as well.
A monopod doesn't do much for stability at low shutter seeds. It does however give you something to rest against!
It will eliminate some up and down jitters. It doesn't help drunken swaying though.A monopod doesn't do much for stability at low shutter seeds. It does however give you something to rest against!
no split focusing screen == no ability to manually focus, imo.If he's learning to manually focus he sure as heck can use all of Nikon's fast primes...
Doesn't matter. The AF sensor in the camera still works, and it knows if whatever is in the AF area is in focus or not. Just get it in the ball park and look for the little green dot in the lower left of the viewfinder. Works every time.no split focusing screen == no ability to manually focus, imo.
There are several aftermarket split prism focusing screens. I've got pretty good eyes and haven't had much trouble with the several Nikons I've used but the split prism would definitely be an asset.no split focusing screen == no ability to manually focus, imo.
Actually, manfrotto has a monopod with spring loaded mini tripod legs. Get that along with a quick release head and you are all set.Yeah. Monopod not so hot for anything longer than about half a second...
I need a setup that allows me to unhook the camera from the tripod, stash it in a safe place on my person, and completely collapse the tripod for carrying (eg, sprinting)...
All in about 10 seconds.
Anyone make a springloaded tripod like a backwards umbrella?
Ala this?Just get a tripod with flip locks. Manfrotto makes some. The flip locks can be popped open and shut as quick as you need.
This is around $450 with a headAla this?

Claims to be the quickest tripod in the world to setup/take down.
I spent less than that for a whole drumset worth of DW cymbal stands. Not crappy ones mind you, nice ones.This is around $450 with a head
It doesn't need to hold three tons, it just needs to go up and down quickly... Just the Bogen/Manfrotto stuff seems to be that expensive (and they do have much more affordable options - the monopod is $120 with a head).$450 with a head is pretty budget level for a good tripod...
