[QUOTE="fotobug, post: 1667, member: 590"] Depends on which 70-300mm you are talking about, and by work, I am assuming you mean auto-focus. The only 70-300mm that will "work" on both cameras is the 70-300mm AF-S VR. The two older 70-300mm("D" series with ED glass, and the bargain "G" series) AF lenses will work in that you have metering, but no auto-focus. Nikkor lenses with the designation AF will not auto-focus with the newer entry level nikon dslr's(D5000, D3000, D60, D40, D40x) as there is no focusing motor in the lens, while the AF-S lenses have the focusing motor built into the lens. The D90 has a focusing motor in the camera body and can auto-focus with both AF and AF-S lenses, while the D5000 will only auto-focus with AF-S lenses. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
