I am able to verify that if you set to infinity, its quite easy. Just watch out for the green dot. And unlike macro, the green dot is doesn't flicker biggrin.gif

So the moment u see the green dot, click! smile.gif

haha ill still spam here. Like how I still spam the D300 thread tongue.gif

And I still think the D40 is a fantastic camera. If the price for the D90 is not so tempting, I wouldn't have upgraded.

Anyway, no D90 for me yet. No stock sad.gif

Still thinking on the lens. A little tired of the 17-50 range, plus the 50 is covered by the 50mm f1.8. Liked the 28-70 Nikon a whole lot... 24-70 would be even better and Siggy just released theirs with HSM so still deep in thought.  rclxub.gif

I like the 18-105 range but absolutely dislike the variable aperture. Horrible for indoor events in my experience.  shakehead.gif

Ken Rockwell did not lie. The P* mode will change aperture and shutter speed to achieve the same exposure.

It would not look radically different because the camera will still adjust accordingly to get the same outcome.

Maybe you need to rotate the dial more after you go to P* mode? tongue.gif

From another forum:

"Half press the shutter button and release it to turn the meter on. Then, try turning it in the other direction. Each click of the command wheel should change the aperture/shutter speed combination used when in P mode."

Err what kind of macro? Insect macro, go with 105mm. Product macro, you can go with the 60mm.

Err your friend is misleading you. All lenses that work on the D40 will work on other Nikon models.

Added on September 26, 2008, 5:17 pmThe safest bet to buy lens for the D40 is to look for the AF-S. That wan confirm boleh jalan.

D90 heard the noise control can compete with the d300 right?

Yep boleh lawan lawan biggrin.gif

Good news for D40/x/60 users.. soon you will be able to use the much talked about Tokina lenses:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08092403tokina.asp

They are finally adding in AF motors and the first to get it is the 12-24mm f4. Hopefully the 11-16mm f2.8 will follow soon.

Priced at RM1.5k (new) and RM1k (2nd hand), its not that difficult for a lens to surpass the price of the body. tongue.gif

AF-S 200mm f2? Micro or just normal? biggrin.gif
