[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 636995, member: 4398"] Hello and welcome. Any Nikon F Mount lens will fit, basically any late 35mm lens onwards will fit and work with your D40 (my first Nikon DSLR btw, but a little compact for my taste) However the tricky bit is that on lenses with AF-S listed will autofocus with the D40. Part of the reason its so compact is that the focus motor was removed and placed into the lens, so AF will work properly but only in manual focus so AF-S for the full monty. As for straps I have a double shoulder strap, which places the camera around your hip, its out of the way and easy to grab, although I do sometimes use twin bodies on the system if carrying one I can clip the opposite side into a belt loop that just makes it feel more secure. In all honesty I have a bad back and the neck strap was causing issues the rucksack strap like system takes a log of weight of and my back is far happier. [/QUOTE]
