[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 445390, member: 12496"] Or, you could just read the Nikon manuals. :) I do think the 18-55 DX lens is special, a $95 lens without this capability. I don't have one, and did not realize it does not have the A/M - M switch position... just A or M. But most (if not all?) of the other AF-S lenses have the M/A switch position, and certainly can override AF manually. This is from the manual for the AF-S 105mm VR macro lens (and it is typical of most) [IMG]http://www.scantips.com/g2/afs.jpg[/IMG] The DX lenses I have are the 12-24, 16-85, and 18-70. They all have the M/A switch. I had a 18-200 DX once, and it had M/A. And all five of my AF-S FX lenses have it. Lenses that are not AF-S cannot do this. [/QUOTE]
