I have seen plenty of 300mm telephoto lenses for the above and they seem to be much more expensive than the manual focus Nikon lenses. I am used to manual focus anyway (previously had 35mm cameras) so is it OK to use a manual focus lens on an AF-S Nikon D5000, or should I just bite the bullet and buy an all singing all dancing auto focus lens? I'm a bit old fashioned and see lots of the modern electrickery stuff to have built in obsolescence (ie they break!). Are the manual lenses less likely to fail and will they work on the D5000?
