Must be one of the sharpest lenses made by Nikon . . but does it AF on a D40 ? Many years since I used a 50mm prime like this . . my first was on a Zenth E . . ah, happy days.

@Ronnie 2¢: Sadly, it doesn't AF on my poor D40. :( Hey, scans of your your old photos would be great!
great lens, very sharp and superb contrast. don't fret it doesn't AF, full manual mode operation gives you total control of the camera, teaches discipline and concentration. try exploring with just this one lens on your d40, you'll be amazed at the results.

@Mortola: I totally agree with you on the discipline part. I'm still learning that as I use the 50mm more. It is best at leisure time when there's no need for particular looks. Makes things exciting and surprising. :)
