Depends... I find that I often had to manual focus in dim lighting with my lenses because the AF wastes a lot of time hunting in and out trying to find the correct focal point. But your eyes have to be sharp because long telephoto + large aperture = shallow depth-of-field which makes focusing errors look really bad.

In bright lighting, most lenses' AF locks on in under a second, and it's much better to use continuous servo AF when taking action photos.

So in other words, if you're a beginner and your eyes are not sharp then manual focusing is rendered a useless function even for a telephoto zoom, let alone a supertele? tongue.gif

From what I gather, D40 owners ask 20 questions about how shallow is a certain aperture and how far is a certain focal length. Would they spend thousands to get lenses they know very well they can do nothing but manual focus? I dun think so lor sweat.gif tongue.gif

all lenses can, just the question of whether it has autofocus o not and as far as i know not many 3rd party lenses have dedicated motors
