Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: Whether you're a beginner or professional, you'll love this compact, lightweight lens from Nikon. The normal angle of view captures approximately what the human eye sees, making it a great all-around lens. Plus, the f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for creating softly blurred backgrounds and shooting in low light.

This is quite possibly one of the if not THE best lenses you can buy for your low range Nikons (like your D40's), and even for the semi-pro and pro D series, it is still awesome (there are better non internal motor primes for those like the 50mm AF 1.4)
But seriously, for $200, you can not buy a better lens period. These have now become harder to find and the prices will be going up (most places they have) if your lucky enough to actually find one at a BB for $200, BUY IT NOW.
Sharpness: Awesome Bokeh: For its price, ok, but much better out there Ease of use: Seriously? Value: People will end up paying twice as much for this in the future.
What's great about it: Price and quality, and sharpness
Fantastic first effort from this tech death/prog/math metal band. Utilizing low tunings and 8 string guitars mixed with massive grooves and complex timing and riffs, and a guitar sound called "Djent", similar to bands like Meshuggah, mixed with screaming death vocals and normal singing, which can be a turnoff for some. This band is breaking new ground in the tech/math metal underground, and definatly something to check out.
What's great about it: Fantastic fretwork and song arrangments
