Although there are many glass(lens) available and compatible for use with the Nikon D40 as enumerated in one of my previous post D40/D40X/D60 - Fully Compatible AF-Lenses , here we will look at the "basic lenses" that can be used with the Nikon D40.
Although there are many glass(lens) available and compatible for use with the Nikon D40 as enumerated in one of my previous post D40/D40X/D60 - Fully Compatible AF-Lenses , here we will look at the "basic lenses" that can be used with the Nikon D40.
For me there are basically four (4) basic lens here they are:
18-55mm f3.5-5.6G II ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor:
This is usually the lens that comes with the least expensive D40 kit (you normally have an option of getting a kit with one of this and a 55-200m lens included in the kit but would of course cost more). It's light, super sharp, has little distortion, zooms much more precisely then more expensive lenses and has better macro performance than more expensive lenses. I've also used this for macros and portraits and quite satisfied with the results.
18-70mm f3.5-5.6G II ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor:
This lens provides a slightly longer zoom range than the basic D40 kit lens at a moderate increase in cost.
18-135mm f3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor:
This is a more expensive lens that has the same wide-angle perspective as the 18-55mm zoom but has a more useful 135mm telephoto maximum focal length.
18-200mm f3.5-5.6G II ED AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor:
The amazing but pricey 18-200mm lens, is mmy ultimate walk-around lens that let's me do away with the camera bag. If you have money to spend on this one then do so and it will be well worth it.
