D40 lens advice

27/07/2008 20:54

Hi,

I'm planning on purchasing a Nikon D40 tomorrow, long story basically D50 not working anymore

I have used a 70-300 mm lens off my old F-65 for airshow photos, I'm guessing from what I've read Nikon have changed something to do with Auto Focus motor on the D40 and this lens won't work (in AF mode) with the D40.

Can anyone suggest a suitable 70-300 for the D40 please? Or even a 55-200. I believe some Sigma lenses are compatible but unable to find a 70-300 anywhere.

Appreciate any advice on this, or even advice on a similar camera or model? Personally I've been a Nikon fan since my F-65 so would rather stick with them

I have a budget of around £300 for my camera, I was also considering the D60?

Cheers
