And what does it say about the lens-buying habits of entry-level DSLR owners that the second-highest-selling Nikon lens won't even AF on entry-level DSLRs?
It's possible that some are using it in manual mode-- it is cheap, and it meters. Though manual focus can be a tricky business with a focal screen that isn't designed for it.
I hear that the 35mmNikon 1.8 (just a bit over $200) is a really nice lens.
