[mumtazguran]

hi.i found a cheap lens 70-300...i have a nikon d40x..but i dont know if it is

suitable for my camera..i know that some lenses fit my camera but do not serve

all properties of lens...for full specs i need to use a dx lens as i know..I

wonder what will happen when i insert this lens to my camera...what will i lose

beside the cheap long focal length that i need those too..thanks for your

feedback..picture of the lens with its box is attached...<div></div>

You don't need to use a DX lens but if you want autofocus you do need an AFS lens, which this lens is not. The D40x requires an AFS lens (focusing motor in the lens) to acquire autofocus.

I've heard that lens is horrible, full chromatic aberration. If you haven't bought it yet, I recommend the 70-300mm AF-S VR lens. Its around 500-600 dollars, USD.

I bought one for my D70 a couple of years ago. Its a focal length I don't use very often. As I recall it cost about $110. used from KEH. Its feels like a cheap toy, but with care it delivers good images. Not autofocusing on your D40X would be a deal breaker for me.<div></div>

The 55-200 AF-S lens would be a much better choice for your camera. It gives beautiful pictures and will autofocus on your camera. It is available with or without VR.

The 55-200 AF-S VR is a better choice, it has VR and it has AF on the D40x.

 

If you need the 300mm reach, try the 70-300 4.5-5.6 VR. That lens cost about $460.
