I'm planning to get my first dslr soon with a very tight budget, D60. i also plan to buy an additional lens, a nikkor 50mm f1.8. I that heard it took great pictures. Even though it cant auto focus using D60. Is it worth it if i buy that lens? or should i wait until AF-S version come out?

anybody here saw local shop selling D60 black gold edition?

Good News!
