is this a good buy? mostly for car and some scenic shots, some portraits, maybe some macro.
it's a nikon 40mm f2.8. appears to get great reviews.

Amazon.com: Nikon 40mm f/2.8G AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras: Electronics
It's a micro/macro lens, great for close up photography, but you'd be better off with a 35mm f/1.8 for the type of shots you take. For portrait, you want something above 50mm to avoid unflattering distortion. It's a great lens nevertheless and will probably pick one up to add to my lineup sooner or later.
