not sure on the auto focus bit, but your camera is a crop sensor, which means any lens you get you actually get 1.5 times the focal length, i.e. a 35 mm =35 +half again= 17, so 35+17=50 or as near as dam it, 50 would be a 75mm and 200mm would be a 300,
i got the 35mm 1.8 dx nikon after looking at the shots dangerous dave took and a bit of advice from him 
have also got the 50mm 1.4 and got some cracking shots from my cousins wedding at the weekend

Got a question for you lads.. I've currently got a Nikon D40. I've found it excellent, and as my knowledge of photography is pretty limited there's no point in me paying out for anything better.
Here's the dilemma though.. I desperately want a nifty 50 (fixed 50mm lens) but my camera will not auto-focus with one. Is there a way around this or does it mean upgrading?
I thought I'd read somewhere that if I was to get a fixed 35mm, after my camera had auto-focused the shot, the result would be the same as that of a fixed 50mm...

Taken with a EOS 450D, fitted with a Canon 50mm f1.8 FD lens (old type) a Lens Doctor FD/EOS adapter and 2 extension tubes.
Hi Neil
I understand your predicament. I have a number of shots taken with a standard lens (the Canon FD 50mm f1.8 teamed up with a couple of extension tubes) on FlickR. Have a look, my address is JohnT2012.
If you are looking to add tubes to a Canon electric lens then you will need a set of auto extension tubes because you can’t manually stop down the aperture on a auto focus lens.
The price of a Canon set is expensive, the cheapest non Canon set I have seen on the bay were around £50 which is very cheap for this type of thing.
Using non auto focus lenses with manual tubes on a EOS camera is a bit more difficult than the auto focus verity but you can do it at a fraction of the cost. Excluding the cost of the adapter, which is shared amongst other lenses, the lens and tubes cost me around £30 in total. You do have the benefit of `old glass` which is as good as if not better than the modern equivalents in many cases
If I was looking for something quick to use and did not want to spend £700 on a Canon then the Sigma and Tamron lenses are very good.

I'm really wanting to have a go at a bit of macro photography, but can't really afford a new lens at the moment after buying a Canon EF-S 18-105. (I know it's not a massively expensive or brilliant lens,but it's quite a lot for my standard of photography!) I know that you can buy extender tubes to increase the distance between the lens and the sensor but how effective would that be with my lens? I don't want to waste money only to find out that I should have bought a macro lens! So, cheap macro lens or extender tubes??
