Specially, auto focus doesn't work. Always I have to set to f4.5-5.8, otherwise camera doesn't work. It is shOt lens.

I can't tell you. I own only a d7000 and d5100. It would not work for me on either of these. Sorry. I have switched to a 16-85 mm Nikkor and this works fine. This lens would not autofocus for meBest of luck to you.Barrie

The inner workings of this lens and that camera are different, so it will not autofocus.

No it won't. It'll only work with bodies that have a built in screw motor drive like the D80,D90 and higher.

TMP, I just tried this on my lens and got the same error. I have never needed to adjust aperture manually and would rather have the camera do this anyway. Your camera has an internal motor for auto aperture (AE) Your lens is a "D" lens (the G lens doesn't have a ring) which can be used on camera's that don't have a motor like the D40. You need to lock it, forget about it and just adjust aperture using the camera's wheel. See here, hope this helps? http://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2605/~/what-does-the-fee-or-f---error-message-displayed-on-an-slr-camera-mean%3F

Yes, it should work just fine since it is a DX lens. I have put this lens in a D60 with no issues.

Yes, it will work. I have this lens as well as a D7000. They work well together. Why does Amazon say it won't work? What is their rationale?

It will work but will not have auto-focus on the d40. The d40 has no internal auto focus motor and relies on lenses with motors for auto focus. This will auto focus on higher end bodies like the d80, d90, and d7000. Keep in mind this lens will also have a crop factor due to being designed to work with full frame cameras.

Yes, this would be an awesome lens for the d40! Sharpest lens I think I've ever used

The writeup says it will fit your d40. I use the k1000 lenses With my D3100 and it does what it is supposed to do. Just remember that the lens will be manual only and you need to adjust for the added focal length.

The Nikon 17-55 f/2.8 AF-S lens will work fine on the D40X. The D40X has no internal focusing motor, so you need an AF-S lens in order to have autofocus work, which this lens has. The only problem is the lens is big, and might be front heavy on the smaller D40x.

It worked great for my Nikon D60 which also has an 18-55 lens (the lens that came in the kit with the camera) so it may work on your Nikon D40x. It is worth a try anyway.

It should be compatible with all Canon mounts. I don't know whether the 40D has IS, so you may want to double-check that before buying. It will still work and might be worth having for future compatibility (I had an IS lens with my 20D for a long time, but wasn't able to use IS until I got my 7D).

Hi All, very interested in these postings but still can't get this lens to work with my D70 in M or AF. I too get fEE message displayed and shutter won'r fire, even after locking off at f22 etc. Starting to wonder if its a camera setting or am I missing something?

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.

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.

This version will work with the D70 but not with the D40. The Tokina 12-24 f4 Pro II will work with both cameras.

It fits d40, but the autofocus will not work. This is probably not the best lens for your camera.

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!

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