Which Nikon lens should I buy?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I have a nikon D40 and want to spend about 0 - 0 on a prime lens for it. I am comparing the 50mm f/1.8 lens and the 18-55mm f/3.6 lens.

The 50mm is faster, but the 18-55mm lets me zoom in and out more.

I will be using it for some sports photography, which is why I need the faster lens. But I would like to be able to zoom out a little bit too.

How to use Nikon F lens with D60?

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I still love my nikon FM3a, but was given a nikon D60. I want to try the F series 45/2.8 prime lens from my FM3a on the D60 ( I think the 45mm was a great lens, pin-sharp and with great contrast) I'm just not sure how to do it? Obviously, I'll focus manually, but what settings are made on the camera and which on the lens? Thanks!

Can you recommend a prime lens for my Nikon D60?

I have a nikon D60 and need a compatible prime lens that will work with the auto focus. What do you recommend? I see some lenses on the nikon website but I don’t know if they’re compatible. I see that Nikkor has AF and AF-S lens. What is the difference? Does the camera auto focus of does the lens? Or both?
