Let me explain more....

When I had my D40, I wanted to use the $100 Nikkor 50mm SO badly...but it won't auto focus on the D40 bc the D40 requires lenses that have their *own* focus motor to auto focus (you can, however, manually focus). So, for me to use a Prime lens that would auto focus on my D40, I had to go to a Sigma 30mm and the lens was about $460. This lens had its own focus motor though....

See what I mean about limitations? To some, that's no big deal though....

AH MAN so i can't get that one for the d60? I just saved it to my favorites !! Is there another one similar with a motor?
