I'm considering purchasing a prime 28mm lens as a "normal" lens for my
D200, thus yielding a similar angle of view to a 42mm lens on a 35mm
camera. The most obvious choice is the Nikon 28mm f/2.8 D AF. Anyone
here doing this? Any comments about such a setup? Any comments on my
choice of lens?

Have you considered the 35mm f/2 as a "normal" lens. It's got an extra stop
and comes at a bargain price. The 28/2.8 would still be a nice lens to
have, being much lighter and compact than the 17-35/2.8 & 17-55/2.8DX zooms
which would be the logical alternative should you want a zoom rather than a
prime.
