You can auto focus with all Nikon AF, AF-D and AF-S lenses. A D40 can only auto focus with AF-S lenses.

Unfortunately, there are a few incorrect answers here. the "D" lenses as in f/1.8D that the asker is asking about does not have a focus motor in the lens as an af-s lens would. you can use the lens with this camera but there is no focus motor in this camera or that lens therefore there would be no autofocus only manual focus.

Well... it depends on its mount. But does the d60 has the motor integrated?...

Says it does: "built-in motor for autofocus with Nikon D40, D40X, D60, D3000, D3100, and D5000 SLR cameras"

If your lens work well with D40 directly, this macro lens will work with your lens.

If the D60 and D90 have autofocus motors built into the camera bodies (which I believe they do), then the lens will autofocus. This version of the lens has no motor, so it requires a camera with the autofocus motor built into the camera body to work.

Yes it does, that's the camera I have. It does have the motorized focus also. Excellent lens!

Yes it does but you will have to manually focus it since the D3000 doesn't have a built in autofocus motor.

Yes, it will mount and take photographs on a D40. The autofocus will not work though. The lens can of course be focused manually to take photographs, but realize that it is a limitation. Look for any AF-S lens to have working autofocus.

I did not own a d40 but the mounts from my knowledge never changed at all and all of my old lenses work fine in manual mode as that is the best way to use them . Really happy with my new nikon .I like how it shoots in manual as well as auto

Thank you for your interest in our bundle! This is fully compatible with your Nikon D40. However, this lens only works in Manual Mode and Focus only. You will lose automatic abilities.

I prefer the D50 which uses countless AF lenses. The D40-60 must have a motorized lens to AF. I got two D50s and a D60 for under $250 used, body only. Two were refurbished the other one was pristine. Many AF lenses work on the D50 and can be had for $50 or so.

I purchased this lens to use as a flexible architecture and portrait lens on my Nikon D90. The lens did not autofocus when on my DSLR, and I had to return it. This may have been due to a defect in the lens, however. I hate to encourage buying something just to see if it will work for, only to have to return it, but if you have no other way to confirm that the lens works on your D40 then you may have to do that. Best bet would be to contact Tamron directly to ask them. Good luck!

Yes it can, however, if the D40 is not an FX sensor the 85mm FX lens will be more like 110mm. If you want an FX lens for your DX camera you could also consider the FX 58 which will be closer to true 85 mm when used on the DX sensor.

No. Only higher end Nikon's have built in focusing motors in the body, which this lens needs. 3000 series and 5000 series lack this internal motor.

Hi. This lens was a perfect replacement for the lens on our Nikon D40. Like getting a brand new camera for the price of a lens. My guess is it works for the original D series.
