The d40 comes with the 18-55 VR as well. I have it.

Im currently shooting the D40X with 18-55 no VR and love it but I will soon be upgrading to the D90 because of the screw drive auto focus. my 50mm 1.8 wont AF without it.

On a long exposures camera vibration caused by triggering the shutter release isn't really an issue (assuming camera is on tripod). The amount of time the camera may be moving compared to the amount of time the shutter is open is very small and doesn't account for much of the information gathered. Camera shake is an issue more towards the half second to 1/10 second exposures.
here is a trick too, if you don't have a remote shutter release use the timer. A two second timer will give the camera a chance to stop moving due to your shutter button press and will open after that movement is gone. For the really critically still shots, use the mirror lockup function (to further reduce motion in the camera) combined with a remote shutter release or timer method mentioned above.

it looks like I am going to be inheriting (kinda) a Sony a100. I look forward to sharing some shots in here

Friend of mine
GAVE me a Sunpak 555 and want to hook it up to my Canon T1i
1st - is there a hotshoe connector?
2nd - is it worth the effort?
3rd - Possibility of Damage to my T1i?
I understand I may need to use it in full manual but did I mention it was free?
:-)
