The Nikon 50MM can be purchased online as well as in stores. Amazon and eBay carry the 50MM as well as the Nikon store itself (online and in stores). A store such as Best Buy or another electronic store will sell the Nikon 50MM as well.

Yes, when using a 35mm format film, the 50mm prime lens is considered a "normal" or "natural view" lens. This does not hold true when using a Digital SLR camera (DSLR) because the sensor for most cameras is not 35mm size (36 by 24mm). Entry level and enthusiast level DSLRs often have sensors that are about half size (18 mm wide) and therefore the 50mm lens is equivalent to a slight zoom. A 35mm or 28mm prime lens is closer to that natural view. Some of the more expensive DSLR cameras have a full size sensor and thus have the same magnification and characteristics of the 35mm film camera.
It depends on what your using it for, if you want something cheap I would go with a 18 to 55 or a 50mm prime.
Yes. And that is an AMAZING lens, by the way.
Yes! Manual focussing is easy and that is a great lens.
No
Approximately $270 with 50mm f2 lens.
With a suitable adapter lense, you can use lenses from a size as small as 9mm, up to 18mm and 25mm, and at over 35mm you can find 50mm and 85mm lenses.
Being that the obj.is 50mm,I would put on a pair of 1in.high rings.
There are many good Nikon lens for portrait photography. However, perhaps the best Nikon lens for this purpose is the Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4G lens. The cost of this lens is approximately $450.00.
With few exceptions, you're going to be much better off only buying Nikkor lenses. Stay away from Sigma and Tamron. The D5000 doesn't have a focus motor, so only buy lenses AF-S, AF-I, or G lenses if you want auto focus. I'll assume you already have the mediocre kit lens (18-55mm). Next you should invest in a fast prime. The Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G AF-S or the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S are both excellent lenses.
