Got the 35mm AF-S on my D40 and it certainly does auto focus. Perfect trophy shot lens on a cropped sensor camera such as the D40 as the FOV will pretty much equal that of a 50mm lens on a full frame camera.
Takes a lovely picture as well, nice blurry backgrounds and pin sharp focus. You wont look back

I have a Nikon D40 too, the 35mm 1.8 AFS is a fantastic lens for trophy shots. You can keep the fish nice and focussed and throw the background into blur with a shallow DOF. As said, due to the crop sensor the 35mm will basically act as a 50mm. Well worth the money

Just a question for those of you that use a remote for self takes, do you encase the remote in something waterproof?

Just been having the same thoughts myself over rethinking the 50mm due to the fact it will actually be like shooting at 72mm on my DX body.
Think I'll go for the 35mm, controversial Ken Rockwell seems to rave about it on the D40 too. Would the 35mm be Ok as a walk around, candid lens as well?

Beautiful Picture Dave
Fully can't decide between the 35mm or 50mm, really like the shallow depth of field with both lenses and it seems some prefer one and others prefer the other.
I'm leaning towards the 50mm 1.8 though at the moment, not fishing too tight swims atm so can frame the shot without too much hassle. Also thinking of sticking to the kit lens at wide angles for the landscape shots for the time being. Any thoughts on this?

After a bit of advice please guys, Just purchased a Nikon D40 on ebay which is coming with the Kit lens, I'm after a fast prime lens for my catch shots. Due to the cropped sensor should I get the 35mm AFS 1.8 DX lens or the 50mm AFS 1.8 (which is not a DX lens meaning an equiv. 75mm FOV)
The 50mm can be had for about £190 or the 35mm for £165ish
Also looking for a landscape lens, would the kit lens 18-55mm used at 18mm be ok for this? aperture would be around 3.5
Thanks

I went back to my bivvy and got into bed before pulling the covers right up over my head. The invincible force of my sleeping bag would protect me.
Found that bit hillarious mate, had a scary situation myself and was thinking exactly the same thing at the time
