It should be the price of 50mm f1.4 ++ abit
Well, old 50mm should be discontinue by then

Search somewhere in the site I'm pretty certain that they had the 50mm f1.4 AF-S rumored to be about USD 700.

50mm f1.4 is not really expensive right?
less than rm 1000

That sound expensive. Around Sigma 50mm f1.4 price

Around Rm 1,000

which one will u get?
a sigma 50mm f1.4 hsm or a nikkor 50mm f1.4 afs?

No doubt I will get Nikkor lens

oh sheet! USD700?? not so wee! anymore.

Well, is 1.4 after all right ?
Wonder how many will grab this. It's a superb lens to pair with D40/x/D60

i hope i'm still not too old to get duit raya. haha!!

At US$700, it is pricey. More than double the price of the current f1.4.

Might as well use the US$700 to secure a 2nd hand D80. More AF points, can use older lenses

Here's the link : http://nikonrumors.com/2008/08/10/new-niko...-september.aspx

EURO 650 (Around 600 - 700 USD)

Unless the new lens is something revolutionary, otherwise just get a motor-in-body camera and buy the older but very much cheaper 50 f1.4. Btw, the Sigma version is RM 1,850.

So the Nikon would prolly cost the same as the Sigma...

IMO, a stupid HSM/AF-S isn't worth the extra RM 1k.

If the Sigma is RM1850 then most likely the Nikkor version will burst the RM2k range.

Which means, expensive alert!

On an unrelated note, was shooting Hanoi with the 105mm and wow, shooting with a prime is so much more challenging and satisfying.

Pics or it didn't happen!

Oh yeah hor... you're back di!! How was it? Beautiful (Both gals and scenery)?

Lol it was hot. Haven't even load the pics into the computer Then its going to be a long, long process of sorting, cropping, watermarking.. zzzz

*Hot* meaning temperature burning hand hot or *Hot* as in make you sweat and salivate hot?

d40 was released end of 2006..will there be any new model for nikon entry dslr similar to d40?

It's called the D60. ;p

The D40X has already stopped production I believe, and the D40 will too at the end of this year. I believe Nikon will move for the D60 to take over the D40's market.

It'll prolly look something like this :

D60 => D80 => D90 => D300 => D700 => D3 => D3X
