  • Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Crystal clear images
    Quite tricky to use

    Great picture clarity but can get tricky on focus for D40 due to shallow DOF.
    Great for indoor shots with true color reproduction!

    Razor sharp
    Can't think of any

    Excellent image quality! Fine piece of lens. AF is fast.. build and feel is solid.

    This lens is seriously sharp with excellent color rendition.

    Worth every penny!

  • Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED VR DX AF-S Nikkor

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    cheap, accurate colors, light, compact
    a little slow

    This lens is great given the price factor. It's also very compact and light. You may have to stop down to get that extra crispness at 200mm but it's also quite good wide open.
    Not the best but you'll be pleasantly surprised with the image quality.
