Re: 50mm nikon alternative?

You can actually get some neat portrait shots with the 55-200, but you need LOTS of space

Tbh, I don't think there is a substitute and you may regret it if you don't wait. Can you try a different Jessops store? Personally I would wait for it because it is a cracking lens!
