lenses for d40

[jorje]

ok so ive heard things about most nikon leenses not working with d40s so i would like some1 to tell me some nice tele lenses or just a nice lense that would work with a d40.

any nikon WITH an AF motor in it, i think it will have DX in the name

 

[jorje]

well can you give me a link to a good one cause i dont really know what to look for. thanks

 

[Andy Rhode]

it will have g in the name and dx.

any nikon lens will work with a d40.

the only issue is it has to have an autofocus motor in the lens for it to autofocus since there isnt one in the body. all dx lenses have this, though. if there isnt one, it'll still work fine, you'll just have to manual focus.

there's no perfect lens, it depends what you want to use it for.

well i want one that has good zoom and good quality....anything thats like much better than a stock 18-55

im thinking you should go search for one yourself instead of asking other people to

kit lens isn't bad...

learn how to use that well before you go spending your money on something else

 

[Andy Rhode]

I hate my kit lens... Thats why im getting a 55-200

get a 70-300 instead. so you loose 15mm on the downside but you gain an extra 100mm on the zoom, which can come in handy at times.

Tamron 70-300mm is cheap and gets the job done (i have one so I can vouch for it) check it out http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/423727-REG/Tamron_AF017N700_70_300mm_f_4_5_6_Di_LD.html

 

[jorje]

wow! its only 160. i was looking to spend like 400 wel ill look into this but is it really legit for so cheap?

 

[ADNpro]

Yea its legit...and yea you can get much better ones, but for that price you really cant beat it.
heres some pics I took with mine (on a d70s) both at 300mm
