Are Nikon AF-S lenses okay?
I might be able to get a lower end body d40x for cheap but it comes with good lenses. I know the d40x has not motor so it requires the af-s with built in lens motor. I plan on upgrading the body but keeping the lenses. If I have only AF-S lenses am I limiting myself somehow? I believe they work with the D90 and D7000 don't… -
Re: Are Nikon AF-S lenses okay?
Any and all new autofocus Nikon lenses are AF-S, including all their pro lineup (14-24, 24-70, 70-200, etc), except for older lenses that may still be in production (50 f/1.8D... anything that has "D" in the name).

(85mm f/1.8 D instead of the Nikon or Sigma AFS / HSM lenses...) But if you plan on eventually upgrading to a D7000, then that issue… -
Re: Are Nikon AF-S lenses okay?
Wow, that is a mighty powerful statement, but I have to disagree. The Nikon AF Nikkor 14mm f2.8D is a mighty fine piece of glass. The 24mm and 28mm F2.8 are also pretty darn good. The 35mm F2.0 also has to rank up there near the best made. The 85mm F1.4 is considered pretty good also. I am not saying that some of the AF-S…
