if i buy ANY lens... for my nikon and wanted it to be autofocus.... it has to be an AF-S lens right???

not just af?

thanks :)
 
thank you martyn :) i di think that was the case, however better safe than sorry :)

ive seen one i want for £150ish (70-200mm). So i figured with the sale of my other lens i can buy it guilt free :lol:
 
Does the D60 not also work with Nikon AF-I lenses (don't know if there are many of these about)?
 
no idea :/

i just want auto focus as me no likey manual :lol: its a nightmare for the photos i do :(

Which 70-200 for £150 ?
 
thanks :)

nice to have other peoples opinions too :)

i want the 50mm 1.4 next - but just sold my 70-300mm so need another lens lol
 
You can pick up the superior VR version of that lens for less than that so I would lok for one of those.

:plusone:

if you are hand-holding at 200mm you will see a real benefit to having a *VR* enabled lens...I got mine for about £130

comment - Nikon et al. recommend you turn the VR to OFF if clamped on a tripod cos the lens will *hunt*.......:shrug:

and... if you get a prime I dont think the 50mm will AF
you need the 35mm 1.8 for AF-S------i think...:thinking:

what about a 50mm AF-D lots on eBay @ £60 - not difficult to manual focus at that focal length

The af-s version will :p......thats the 50 1.4 G.

As to the 50-200, i'd say go down the 70-300 route as you'll benefit with vr at the longer end of the telephoto, may take a boit longer to save up for but not too long if you go second hand.

from the classified section... end 2009....:lol:

before you send ANY money to an on-line camera shop it is *always* best to do a search......some shops say "In Stock" - debit your account and only then order the goods from HK or Japan - so you can wait ages !!

1....check here to see if there are any old threads
2...check Google.......""shopXYZ complaints"
3...check out AV Forums - they have a wealth of info

and I believe - dont use a Debit Card but a Credit Card which has protection for you
 
^^ thank you :)

i might just use jessops if need be - they have a good reputation.

or even ebay - i have more protection there with paypal that anything tbh
