What camera is it for?

the only 50mm lens that will focus on the D40 is the sigma 50mm f1.4 due to the internal focus motor. the nikon f1.8 and f1.4 don't have internal focus motors hence why D40 & D60 are crap

They are hardly crap cameras. They just obviously dont have as many features as top of the range ones!

not comparing them to top of the range camera but to their competitors.

Was that via Amazon?

I ordered the same canon 50mm two weeks ago. Cost me £63 delivered and came 2 days after I ordered it.

Its 1000000000 times better than the kit lense

Being serious though, Canon's 50mm is super sharp, quick focusing and avaliable in 3 aperatures of 1.0 (we are talking into the £thousand), a 1.4 (around the £300-400) mark and the 1.8 (around the £60-80 mark) I recently bought the 1.8 version and its brilliant for low light shooting. The fact that the lense has no moving glass parts inside means is is set up for optimum sharpness
