Hi! I'm another Nikon D40 Newbie - Wide Angle and Tips and Tricks

I just got a D40 with an 18-55mm and 55-200 kit.  I'm also thinking of getting a very wide lens in the near future -- Nikkor 12-24 AF-S is very expensive.  I saw some members suggested a sigma 10-20 mm.

My question is would that lens work with the D40 but we have to use manual focus?

And I would love to hear more tips and tricks from you all out there.

Thanks.

Earth Hour 2008

Link

I knew about it but forgot about it totally. It's a great initiative and we all should lend a hand so we and our future generations can cherish this beautiful blue planet for centuries to come.  Since Earth Day is coming up this month.  It's a good reminder.  Let's help in every which way we can.

New York Day 1- Carnegie Deli

We arrived at JFK airport on April 3rd and took a cap to Park Central Hotel in lower Manhattan.  The hotel is conveniently located across from Carnegie Hall, and in walking distance from Columbus Circle and Central Park.  I know that it was going to rain the next day so we took a horse carriage with Jack our local guide and Bee Bee the horse -- who loved carrot.

Then we went to New York's famous Carnegie Deli -- which has been favorites of celebrities and not-so-celebrities alike.  The place didn't look much but has the BEST cheesecake!!! and Gigantic pastrami sandwich -- (beware, they charge 3 dollars for sharing)... But it's worth a visit.  We ended up going back 3 times.

My Trip to Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, and Grand Canyon

http://beetlejuice42560.blogspot.com/
I went to Las Vegas in July 2007 with Charlie and met up with Joop and P'Wan. I had resisted going there for a long time thinking that it would be one of those tacky places... but boy!!! Am I wrong...We saw a few shows..having great fun. We also went to Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, the Meteo Crater on Route 66 in Arizona, and Sedona. I would love to go back to Arizona again... Perhaps not in summer.

I created this blog at one time as part of my perpetual struggle with weight loss and shared health and mental balance tips. I kind of abandoned it for a while. Perhaps I will pick it up again if I have a group to share tips with.
