And on to the lens

So anyways, here's a little bit more detailed review of the lens I've recently purchased.  Again the lens can be found here.  From purchasing to shipping I've had great success with Best Buy overall.  It took literally just a weekend to have the item shipped to me and I was able to enjoy it by Monday afternoon. 

When I purchased the lens I knew it was designed for Nikon Film SLR cameras so from the get go I knew I was going to lose the autofocus option, buyers beware.  And also because of that, the lens does fit tighter than other lenses I have, so if you're like me, wanting to spend less and still produce good quality pictures, you'd want to be careful not to break the thread cause it can be a hassle for repair. 

I've fitted the lens on and off for several times just to make sure it fits properly, and I've found small amount of dirt on the rim of the lens and the thread so I've taken it back out and cleaned it again before the last mount.  D40 will recgonize the lens properly, so one thing you can do to verify that is to use the aperture option on the lens.  Because some of the Nikon SLR cameras may have the aperture control through an analog dial on the lens, this lens also has that function. 

When I tried to turn the lock off to change the dial, my camera immediately shows a message informing me to keep the aperture on the lens at the highest f-stop possible, it would be a great way to show all the connectors are meeting between the camera and the lens. 

And then of course after fitting the lens, my UV lens filter goes on.  This would be another 'tip' so to speak for beginners out there. 
Simple math to treat lenses:  If you scratch a UV lens filter, it's about 10 dollars at the most, if you scratch the glass on a lens, it's the cost of the lens we're talking about.  Keep the dust and the dirt out fellas. : )

I think all in all I'm going to rate this lens 8/10.  The fitting of this lens on a DSLR is kinda weird and scary, but if you're careful with it no problem should arise.

Now, for those of you whom are not afraid to spend more money on a lens because either you're loaded, or you're planning on staying on track with Nikon, here's an awesome lens that does better of a job than the lens I've got.

Until next time, stay frosty my friends : )
