This is the new Nikon 35mm DX with the AF-S motor that works with DX cameras, including the D40 and D60 series. In fact this is the only 35mm lens that will work on a D40/D60, and it will not work on full frame cameras. A lot of us are in the habit of thinking of a 35mm lens as being a moderate wide angle, but because the DX cameras have a 1.5 crop factor, this lens turns out to be neutral. It has an wide aperture of f/1.8 and it is small and lightweight. It can focus down to 12 inches, it’s about 2 inches long, and it weighs just 7 ounces. These features make this lens very versatile indoors and out. What's the difference between this and the Nikon 35mm AF f/2D? This is an AF-S lens which means it has a focusing motor built in, AF lenses don't. The other major difference is that it does not have an aperture ring, while the D lens does, but this is probably not significant for most dSLR users. D40 and D60 owners: This is the one you want.
