What non nikon lenses can be used with the nikon d40 camera. I do not want to have to pay silly prices.?
What lenses can be used wit hthe nikon d40 camera without having to pay nikon prices and are they worth the saving? This is my first slr camera so would like to know also if there are any good websites that would suit me as a begginer in photography?
ok so where do i buy nikon lenses at good prices. Also any hint on the good websites fo amateurs?
Your D40 will accept any lens that has a Nikon F-mount, however, it will only autofocus with Nikon AF-S lenses or Sigma HSM lenses in the Nikon mount.
So the only non-Nikon lenses that will autofocus with your D40 are the Sigma HSM-equipped lenses.
I also disagree with what a lot of other people are saying about only buying Nikon-lenses. It’s baloney. Nikon makes great lenses, no question about it. However, third-party lens makers can make some fantastic lenses too and until you actually try out the lens, you won’t know how it performs.
For example, Sigma makes a fantastic lens, the 50-500mm zoom. It’s HSM equipped, so it’ll autofocus with your camera. There is *no Nikon equivalent lens* to this lens, and it’s a great performer. Likewise, Sigma’s optically stablized 80-400mm OS lens has a built-in motor and it will autofocus with your camera while Nikon’s 80-400 VR lens, which costs hundreds more *will NOT autofocus* with your camera. That’s right, a Nikon lens won’t autofocus while a third-party lens will. And optically, they perform the same.
So don’t get caught up in the “you must buy Nikon only” baloney, because that’s what it is. Instead, decide what it is you want to accomplish first with your photography and then buy the lens you need to accomplish that task or reach that goal. And do what pros do: they will actually try out several samples of the same lens until they find the best one out of the bunch. Why? Because individual lenses can vary in quality, so that some otherwise identical lenses perform better than others from the same brand. This is where a brick and mortar store has an advantage over an online store, because you can try out different copies of the same lens.
Since Sigma is, right now, the only maker to have autofocus-capable lenses (marked HSM, plus the 80-400 OS), check out their website at http://www.sigmaphoto.com/lenses/lenses_all.asp and look for lenses marked HSM and also the 80-400 OS lens.
If you’re looking for a good place to buy online…first decide which lens you’re interested in, then hit http://www.pricegrabber.com as well as http://www.amazon.com to see where you can find good prices.

The 5 Best Nikon Lenses
Nikon has been in the Camera business for a very long time and are considered one of the best in the business. The following lenses cover a variety of sizes and prices but they are some of the best lenses you can get.
- Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF you can find this lens for about $125 I picked it as one of the bests because it uses proven technologies and is inexpensive. However be aware that this lens will not work with the following cameras due to lake of Auto-focus on the cameras: D40, D40x, D60 and F3. Though the camera might not work on those cameras on the rest it works beautifully.
- Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor this lens can be purchased for $109.95 at Amazon. This lens is another great lens to have it’s especially nice for those who are just starting out in photography. This lens is a wide-angle lens and can focus very well. This is lens can be your only lens if your just a casual photographer.
- Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S ED VR II this lens is for DX format Nikon cameras but it is an amazing lens. The price on Amazon ranges from $750-$899 depending on the vendor. This lens is basically the do-all lens you won’t need anything else unless you need more zoom, you won’t need any of the lenses already mentioned if you sprung for this one.
- Nikon 135mm f/2.0D AF DC-Nikkor Lens this lens is expensive but it’s the best portrait lens made by Nikon if that is your main use for photography this is the only lens you need. It features Defocus Control (DC) which lets you just focus on the subject and blur the background. This lens is on Amazon for $1,389.59.
- Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens is big and heavy and works with both DX and FX format cameras but really shines when used with an FX camera. This lens takes very sharp pictures even with it wide open the whole picture is sharp. Amazon has this lens for $1,819.86.
