Anyone know a decent store in BKK that sells these at a good price?

Thanks in advance.

It will not AF on the D40 though. Not too much of a problem though, my 50mm 1.4 is almost always on my D40.

Foto-File ... ground floor of MBK

Watch out for that focusing issue, as DOF will be very small at the wide apertures.

I guess manual does give you the best control, if your eyesight is still up to the mark.

this lens is AF only. D40 dont support AF.

this lens is seldom in stores because many buying it. you can go to pantip like photovision, la-ox in 3rd floor. this is around 3-4K brand new depending on how much you bargain.

good luck

dunno what shops you are looking but I have yet to find a decent photography shop that doesn't have at least one in stock, even in the crappy stores in Panthip i have seen plenty

AF only ?, you can use it manual focus

and be carefull which one you buy, ther is a 500/1.8 AF and a 500/1.8 D

you can find reviews at kenrockwell.com

You need to make sure the lens you get for your D40 is an AFs the D40 doesnt support the AF lens. I got a good deal on some lenses on Ebay.

The AF-S 50mm is really expensive.

Just buy the 1.8. Manual focus isn't that bad with a prime lens.
