Huh? do you mean that you can't manual focus it? It's because the lens has no internal motor and uses the pin from the camera to autofocus, If you try to turn the focus, you'll feel resistance. Flip the switch to MF and u can freely turn the focus ring.
If you mean that the AF is locked onto the middle only, check if ur Locked focus switch is on locked.
I hope this helps.

After doing some reading up, i believe the Katzeyes is highly recommended.

How much did it get it for? I am looking at this too. This is good for portail shots right?
got it @ 190 at CP. but heard some got it at 180? i'm lazy to hunt for it over the slight different so just got it . ya it good for portrait. esp indoor w low light.
but now i compare w tamron 28-75 mm f2.8. sometimes it seem to get better result than this prime 50mm under low light, but not yet try in daylight condition.
anyone more pro or w better experience can guide me on this? seem like this 28-75mm tamron can replace my nikon 50mm f1.8.??

I'm totally not following this at all haha.
What do you mean better result? I think you're comparing the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 with the Nikon 50mm /f1.8 AF-D right? You also know that the 50mm outperforms nikon's profession 24-70?
I think you mean sharpness and focus? Do note that when u r shooting in low light and at f/1.8 on ur 50mm, you have very little depth of field. Means that anything that is not in ur plane of focus will become blurry. I guess thats where ur comparison comes. If u stop down ur 50mm to f/2.8, no way it's worse than ur tamron, unless u have a bad copy of the lens.
Is there any way to select more than 1 focus area? I think it's automatically set by your camera, it either selects the face or whatever it "thinks" your subject is, then measures all other points in the picture which lines in the plane of ur subject and thus gives more than 1 point highlighted in the viewfinder.
U can't focus on items that are in different planes, u can only work with your DoF by making it very deep. (unless u have your focus at infinity like in a UWA) So lets say u have 2 people standing 5 meters apart, one in front, one behind, unless u stand very far away, it will be hard to have both of them in focus.
Do i use autofocus much? Usually, but very often i find myself changing to MF while shooting cause the camera keeps locking on to the wrong thing... ... Hmm actually i use MF more than AF. HAHAHAHA. woops.

Got m 50mm / F1.8, just love it. It is very sharp for the price paid for it.
Just got my ML3 too for $19 bucks, this will be good one as i want to start testing out taking IR photos with my acquired IR filter.
Got an extra 5500 capacity 3rd party battery. As i will be heading for a business trip in US. Would be useful when you ran out of batt. Can wait to have more shots :bsmilie:

Heard that it is out of stock in many places. Where can I find the D90 with kit lens reasonably priced?
