50mm 1.8f auto focus is working for Nikon D5000?

If you look in your user manual, you will see that the D5000 can only auto-focus using AF-S Nikkor lenses.

This means that the AF-S 50 mm f/1.4 is the only Nikkor 50 mm lens that can auto-focus with your fine, entry level D5000.

If you had wanted to use older AF lenses, you should have purchased the Nikon D7000, a more advanced camera that can use AF, AF-I and AF-S lenses

No it is not.

Either get the more expensive f1.4 or get the 35mm f1.8 AF-S which is only slightly more expensive than the 50mm f1.8
