My mother enjoys photography and keeps saynig she wants a longer lens, as it's her birthday coming up I was thinking of getting her a second hand 70-300mm as a second gift.

I've seen a couple of Tamron 70-300mm's in the classifieds and wonder if anyone could help point out what fittings I need to look out for to fit a D40, I'm guessing Nikon have the equivalent of EF/EF-S lenses on the Canons.

On the Canon's the Tamron 70-300mm isn't the best lest out there is this the same with Nikon?

Guess I'm looking to spend approx £100 which isn't a great deal. The lens would only get used in good weather as my mother definately falls into the fair weather tog and tends to shoot stuff in the backgarden and out on walks in the country, luckily both on the door step lol...

Any advice greatly appreciated.
 
new - Sigma APO 70-300 with built-in motor to auto-focus on Nikon D40..."here"

maybe used on eBay..?
 
Thanks John, might look at buying new for that price :D

dont know how much lead time you have - but I believe they bring in from HK

maybe worth a call re stock - I believe they are one of the more reliable importers
 
there is a Tamron 70-300 motorised in the Sale section............
 
Don't get paid until Tuesday so will kepp an eye when Moneys in the bank...

And I've bought my next lens of course :D
