Third contender

On my list of wants. This really nice 35mm (effective 52mm on my DX format dslr). It seems wrong that the 50mm (70mm effective) is about $70 less.

Other important factors:

• af-s would work on a d5000 if Melinda ever gets one (70$ more than the af version though...)
• 1.8 f-stop is one hell of a wide aperture (1.4 is an extra 200+$)
• and the price comes in at just under 200$, maybe I should look into used lenses though...
