      if you're looking for a fixed lens I'd suggest the 35mm 1.8G or 50mm 1.8G (the 50 is the one I use for most of my shots btw.!)…imo the 35 is a bit better though for the stuff "we" tend to do (waywt pics, etc.)...also it's more versatile and can be used indoors as well! the 50 isn't too good for indoors since its a tad too long on a crop (50x1.5= 75mm)...

        Can't go wrong with a 35 f1.8 g. You can pick one up brand new dirt cheap around £100. You could go a 50 f1.8 d would be a cheap way to do macro shots too with some tubes, but on your camera it wouldn't have auto focus as you need g series lenses as they have a motor in the lenses.

          ^ backed! always buy G-lenses for this type of camera body!
          the D3000 is having a crop sensor in'it, that means it multiplies the actual length of a lens with 1.5!

          so if you're buying the 35mm, you have to take into account that you're actually shooting with a 52.5mm (=35x1.5) and with a 50mm lens it's 75mm (=50x1.5) on a crop! jfi…

            I'd back the 35mm 1.8 for cropped sensor now, and general useful-ness down the line. 50mm is a little close, and when cropped it's way too close.

              Thanks guys, anyone know the exact model number for the Nikon 35mm G lens? Don't want to look like a putz, or end up with wrong thing.

                    i actually had both, the 35 1.8G and the 50 1.8G…after only shooting with the 50, i´ve sold the 35!
                    today i wish i would have kept both, cuz just shooting with the 50 is sometimes a bit nerv wrecking...
