Hi Paul. This lens perfectly matches on Canon D40. About the focusing type, unfortunally, can't help.

Yes, it matches with 40D... I've used it with several old 300D and D60 as well as with 5D mk.II - but there is no good focusing screen for these cameras. I've tried standard focusing screen Eg-A, Eg-S and 180split screen. Even Eg-S was the best I've missed a lot of shoots. At the end I've had to sell this great lens and buy EF 50/1.2 - just because of weak focusing. Glass itself is amazing in term of sharpness and 'film-like' colors. If you are videographer then it's no.1 for you - because you will use loupe on your LCD for focusing for sure. But if you want it for stills I recommend something different with good AF. Specially for a crop format sensor. I have EF 50/1.2 - what it's good (just wide open f1.2 is a bit softer with strong vinetation on full frame but from 1.6 it's a great lens). Standard EF 50/1.4 has perfect value for that price. EF 50/1.8 is 2years lens - it's plastic so after this period mine couldn't focus correctly. I've also tried Sigma 50/1.4 - it's the same level as EF 50/1.4 for me - but I prefer Canon. EF 50/1.2 is my choice because of build, focus and optical quality. For Canon bodies you can't find nothing better. BUT if you love Zeiss glass - change to Sony, you'll see why ;) Note: I use 50mm for about 90% of time and I work as a wedding and lifestyle photographer. You can find my work at www.marianmajik.com

If the Canon D40 has an EF mount, then yes, this lens will fit. As for the focus screen, I am unaware what you mean. It has a manual focus ring only.

Absolutly, this lens is a good match for any body with motor drive for autofocus. The D70 has it.

I have a SX-40.....but found the focus has trouble dealing with the lenses in this kit...........we don't use any of them.

The lens is cheap second hand and takes sharp photos, so I like it. I believe that the lens does not come with a built in auto focus motor, so if the D40 does not have a built in AF motor then it will only focus manually. My D90 works with this lens because the camera has a built in AF motor.

I have a Nikon D3200 24 mp digital camera and just purchased this lens for a Nikon camera and I can a say that this lens works perfectly with my camera, the auto focus works fine, the pictures I took came out great. I would say this lens is a great buy and also say it will work with any entry level Nikon digital camera that does not have the auto focus motor built into the camera body. I have used Sigma lens in the past with 35 mm film cameras and they are just great. So don't worry go ahead and buy you won't be sorry....

Yes, using this lens with a D40/60 will force you to manually focus each shot.

Not certain. It may fit, but have no auto focus. It is also a full frame lens, making it heavier than most lenses that are used with your D40.

I have never utilized the lens on the D3200 but I have on the D40, and the D600 Nikon if those connections are compatible with the D3200 you are good. Remember this is not an auto focus lens. Good shooting.

I have one on a Canon EOS 40D. It will not be a perfect match. You'll have to learn to use the camera with the adapter. Lenses will fit, you'll be shooting using manual settings and the adapter lens in front of the camera sensor will reduce image quality slightly.

Autofocus works fine on my D50, so unless the D40 is fundamentally different, it should work just fine.

Absoultely! It's a terrific lens for my 40D. Crisp photos. It's a purchase I am really happy about.

I have a Nikon D 90 and I have this lens on it. I'm sure it would work on the 40. I would call a camera store and ask to be sure. It is a great lens..

Yes, with no problems. I have a 40D and a T3i. Works fine on both. Did have a problem with the lens not focusing after about a year and a half, but when I called Tamron, no problem with the lengthy warranty Tamron has with their lenses! Very quick turn around for the repair and it works great again now!

HI. I do not have a D40, but I believe it is a DX like my D7100, and it should work fine. The 10-24 is a great lense!

Canon's is a fixed 40mm lens. This is a 14-42mm motorized zoom.And it's not a fixed focus lens, it has a fixed focal length with a constant aperture. Their 40mm is autofocus. There really shouldn't be a battle on which is better. Both serve a purpose. If you're going for one lens to walkaround with, a fixed 40mm is a bit limited.

Yes. But if you are using the Nikon D40 it won't have the "auto focus" functionality. You will have to shoot using manual focus. Which to me is OK, because I get practice shooting in manual mode. It is a good lens....Got it in Silver.

I bought a brand new K-01 white body only. I have many lenses between 35mm and 50mm, so I did not buy the DA40. On hind sight, I should have since the IQ seems to be really high.
