Nikon D40 shipping today
From Camera World / Ritz.
Just ordered mine minutes ago. Really looking forward to this -- I've been waiting for something substantially smaller and lighter than my D70s with 18-70, and this looks perfect. Also, for us Ken Rockwell fans (both of us ;-) ), he just got his and reviews it he http://kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40.htm Neil |

hmm .. do you realise D40 does not support lenses with non SWM motor ? hence
you must focus manually ? therefore you can't buy the dirt cheap but good AF 50/1.8 D for your low light lens ? =bob= "Paul Rubin" wrote in message ...

You have to focus all MF lenses manually on both the D40 and the D70. therefore you can't buy the dirt cheap but good AF 50/1.8 D for your low light lens ? Because I use the even better and still fairly cheap MF 50/1.4 and 35/1.4 for my low light lenses. The 58/1.2 Noct that I really want is still way expensive despite being MF |

You have to focus all MF lenses manually on both the D40 and the D70. And loose metering. non-D lenses meter only on the D200 and up. |

Starting with the littlest and working up, I have (one of each) Coolpix 4600, 5200, 5900, 7900, 5400, 8400, 8700 and 8800. And the D70s with the 18-70 kit lens, 50/1.8 D, 10.5/2.8 DX and I've ordered the new 70-300 VR. A week or so ago I bought the cheapo 55-200 to go with the D40 kit I knew I'd be getting. Neil |
