Okay this is what I just bought.it seems comparably priced with everything else i've been seeing...the only thing terribly wrong with a d40x is the camera doesnt have an AF motor on it but if all of my lenses have an af motor on them then I'm good to go,right... take a look and let me know what you think.

I know a 50mm is the next step...the af motor on my other 18-55mm just went out so i kinda fixed that right then plus my other one wasn't a nikkor lense so i kinda made out I have a n50 film a d40x( which to my surprize has 10 mega pixels,vs the 6.1 on a d40)...i have a good idea on how to make the money back...advertise in the paper for location photographer 100 exposures for 75 bucks in cool locations around town...extra charge for extra special locations because some spots charge for setting up ...cd check out the 100 strangers group on flickr looks like a great way to get to get to know people.

Because it limits you to buying only the newest AF-S lenses which are more expensive. Manual focus is ok but sometimes you just need the speed of auto focus.
thats still not around the 300$ mark.. i think a prime is his best bet.
i only manual focus in live performances and band shows
no time for auto focus and usually its too dark anyways
getting alienbees soon

the top ones mad nice shifted. its almost got a film-feel to it.
okay, then what prime ? the widest prime they make besides the 14mm is the 20mm and 24mm both of which cost roughly the same as the lens I suggested, and on a crop body are equivalent to 32mm and 38mm respectively.
you probably can get a first gen sigma 10-20mm used for a little over $300. or not IDK. fuck the geek talk
another flick for talking

Shifted, how did you get that semi fisheye look?

He's dreaming getting something that wide for under $300. Photography and lenses is an expensive game and there's no short cuts.
Unless you steal. That can work. Thats how I got my 28mm 2.8.
Your only option is really the tokina or sigma wide zooms.
This is so much nicer than hdr'ed band shots.
what do you mean? like the last shot of the city?okay, then what prime ? the widest prime they make besides the 14mm is the 20mm and 24mm both of which cost roughly the same as the lens I suggested, and on a crop body are equivalent to 32mm and 38mm respectively.
