depends on ur skill and also, equipment.
i feel that the best bet is with the d60 with electronic rangefinder, cos it tells u whether u are back or front focused and by how much.
for the d40 (and most other nikon dslr), all u have is a pathetic green dot. very hit and miss. of course for those who are damn pro, still ok la. if u are focusing on something stationary, then it's not much issue also though obviously slower than AF.
i used the 50mm on my prev d40x to shoot hamsters. can be done, but the hit rate is very low - just referring to focus here, not composition n other factors - say not more than 1 in 5 shots.
