Hi all – I have a Nikon D40 and an 18-55mm lens that came with part of the kit. Im happy enough with the shots I’ve been getting with this lens but I need more zoom! (And I want to keep my auto-focus function too!)
I have just learned that the D40 does not have an auto-focus drive motor built into the camera and requires a lens with the motor included in the lens such as the Nikon AF-S series or the Sigma HSM series (see http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond40/) . . . and this is where I need your help guys.
Basically, I need more zoom and I need to keep the auto-focus function. I shoot (well try to!) mostly nature/wildlife shots and am willing to pay around 200 Euro or upwards if I must . . . Any suggestion’s from you guys would be greatly appreciated!
