With the entry level Nikon DSLRs (D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, D5100), you would want to look more towards Nikon's AF-S lenses if you want auto focus.
AF-S 50mm f/1.4G is nice, cost about $440 (US at B&H).
AF-S 50mm f/1.8G goes for about $220 (US at B&H).
Then again, as  marbo suggests, the 35mm is great for the D40x; goes for about $200 (US).
Keep in mind that a 50mm lens on a crop sensor is equal to a 75mm full frame lens; nice for portraits on your camera. While the 35mm is close to "normal" lens on your camera...
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you further. |

Get the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G, much more usefull range and will auto focus on the D40.
Look here :)
But if you must have the 50mm this this one will auto focus on the D40.
