Fabulous! The AF-S drive means it can be used on the Nikon D40X, which is super light and pretty good for 90% of use cases. I've been avoiding the D40X only because it doesn't support the 50mm, but with this lens it's perfect. Now to wait for lens reviews. (The D40X also has a small grip area, thereby raising the stress on the fingertips. It hurts after more than an hour of use. Borrow before you buy.) -- Kiran Jonnalagadda http://jace.seacrow.com/
