Nikon just released AFS 35mm f1.8G Dx lens for $200. It is an awesome, sharp, and contrasty lens for whoever have D40/D40x/D60. It is an AFS so it will auto focus with those cameras, unlike the 50mm f1.8/1.4D. With D40+lens kit 18-55mm and this lens, you are good to go. Later down the road if you need longer reach, just get 55-200mm or 70-300mm.
