Does anyone have this?

I have a D40x

I just picked up a 55-200mm non-VR lens to compliment my kit lens (18-55mm non-VR) but quickly realized its a PITA to swap lenses all the time.

The 18-200mm VR is a little out of my price range so I've been looking at the 18-105mm VR.

Any input from you guys/girls?

 

Crap nevermind. It won't fit on my camera.

 

You mean it wont autofocus. It should fit. Remember, your lenses need to be AF-S.

AF-S but lens attachment size is 67mm.

 

Yeah it won't fit I have the D60 and our only option is the 18-200. Keep checking bhphoto and such for deals especially with the holidays not too far around the corner

 

Yeah. I just got the 55-200mm VR.

I need to save money this winter. Damn car!

 

I hear ya... welcome to photography it's an expensive fkn hobby.

 

Why won't it fit? The D40 takes AF-S DX lenses, which is what the 18-105 is. 67mm is just the filter size for the front of the lens, it has nothing to do with the lens mount. "Lens attachment size" is for lens hoods and other accessories that mount to the front of the lens.

 

Hmmm.. thanks for clearing that up Dan.

 

yeah when i was doing some research for the D40, there was not a big 'aftermarket' so to speak lense wise
but you can get lense attatchments

 

I feel like an Idiot now too.. Dan is right in this instance, as he most always is :o) had I realized the 67mm was only the filter size I might have saved a few bones and picked this one up instead. oh well
