I owned a D40X for a few years before I had to sell it because of college expenses, and now I just recently bought a D50 body and found a sweet deal on a used 18-105 VR lens.

Once I line it the indicator dots, I twist it counter clockwise and it clicks like normal but the lens is loose at the base and can be wiggled, even pulled away with little effort.
