Hi all.

Some questions here. If i buy a D40 without lens.Body only. Then, what lens(with af) should i buy? Just for your info, I'm very new in this. So I will just take any photos. Budjet for lens about blw Rm700. Another question, I have a Tamron 70-300mm. Bought this few years back ago for my Nikon SLR. Is it possible to use it on D40?

buy 2nd hand Nikkor 18-70mm or 18-135mm...cost less than 700
both a good all-rounder lense...

T70-300 not able to AF with D40...need to manual focus...

I will suggest you to take together with D40 kit lens.
The lens is actually among the kit lens that ain't that bad. It's very sharp at f/8

erm forgot whether I've asked this before or not. can nikon dslr use manual focus only lens? I ask coz I have a FM2n with 36-72mm f/3.5 series E lens & 50mm f/1.8.

To those who just bought..
What is the current price going for a new D40 in the market?
If not possible to post up here, pls PM me.
thanks

yes u can...
all lenses from Ai to the current AF-S...is usable on ALL nikon DSLR...
BUT...
u wont get to use the metering if u r using the beginner body...
u need to use D200 and above to able to meter...using A or M mode...=)

E series lenses are single coated. very nice if u are doing black and white.

got extra d40 batt here on sale
interested jst pm me
thx

hmm why not u open a sales thread for it?

means that i can use the lens? just need to manual focus myself? and, will the lens spoil the camera body slowly?

Added on April 12, 2008, 11:25 ambtw, anyone willing to explain the lens for me. For example- Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm. What does the S stand for? AF is auto focus right? and what does f/3.5 means? focal length?

manual focus wont spoil the lens or body.

AF-S is the nikon's series of lenses that have a focusing motor, SWM.

wat about like F amount, D type?

( Is these question allow to ask in here? If not, please tell me. Thanks )
