[QUOTE="hark, post: 613965, member: 13196"] It doesn't have a focus motor, but my D90 always worked with lenses lacking the motors. Although lacking the focus motor, it's one less thing that won't break since it doesn't have one. ;) On a DX body, your field of view will be about 50mm-150mm. An advantage is that at the tele- end, your widest aperture will be f/4.5 which is pretty decent especially for the price! BUT when checking the price of sold listings on ebay, it's a tad high. Keh.com has a similar lens for $99. What I question is Keh lists the lens as a macro so not sure if Keh's lens is exactly the same.
