[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 180859, member: 6573"] Entry level DSLR models such as the D40, D60, D3000, and D5000 series do not have a motor AF drive. This means that the Nikon D lenses such as the 50mm f1.8D will not AF with those cameras. D lenses can work with D80, D90, D200, D300, D7000 and other mid entry level cameras that has this feature. The bad thing about this is that you cannot override the AF mechanism unless you switch it to manual. The good thing is that most of the D lenses are much cheaper than the newer lenses. Most newly released Nikon lenses have Silent Wave Motor (SWM) which can AF with any of the DSLR cameras. I prefer the AF-S lenses since they are much quieter to operate compared to the "jerky" drive of the D lenses. The newer lenses since they have been re-designed, are sharper and has better lens flare resistance compared to the D lenses. [/QUOTE]
