My next lens will be the 35mm G as it will AF on my D40x and become my basic lens till I go FF. and its cheaper than it is sharp. A think I like. I think in the nikon world for what is worth the lens to have our eyes on is the f/4 AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR $1,259.95 And much of the reason is its VR And when its time to move up to FF its there. As its not DX. And that's the most acronyms I've used in a post. I've been hand holding full second shutter speeds with the back of my head braced against buildings. I just discovered that technique its best to do at night with few people looking it really works. But I'm ready for VR. [Rabs] Mark William Rabiner
