It's a nice little lens but I really hate lenses without IF design. If I were in Nikon I think I'd rather have the 35/1.8 + Raynox 250 for the price of the 40/2.8.

Well, with the hood mounted, the physical length remains constant <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

There's a limit to the number of features that can be implemented at a given price point. For this lens, IF was probably not implemented to keep the costs (and price) down.
Personally, I'd choose the DX 40 over the DX 35 because of its smoother bokeh.
