This has got to be one of my favorite Nikkor lenses. It's small, light and cheap. Don't let the low price fool you, this lens even has a focus motor so that it will work with the smaller Nikon DSLRs.
This lens is targeted at "entry level" camera owners such as the D40, D60 and D5000. I personally hate the sales terms "entry level", or "prosumer" or even professional. Those terms are meant to appeal to egos and boost sales. Nothing more. If your D40 is working for you and you love it then you don't need a higher priced camaera unless you want to stroke your ego for a short time, since DSLRs don't have a long life and cost a fortune.
If a pro needs to be told this and this is pro level then he or she ain't much of a pro to begin with.
I use this lens with the D5000 almost exclusively in my babe photo shoots because the combination is small and very light. Believe me, after about 3 hours of shooting with a behemoth like the D300, you will welcome the smaller rig and get the same image quality you would with a D300.

It only weighs 11.2 ounces!
