Sounds like its a bone of contention amongst our Nikon friends though!
And you can sod off too.

"Upgrade" to a Canon we never have a problem finding lenses that fit...........!!!
Go forth and multiply.
Although I believe that all Canon AF lenses fit all Canon cameras.
Have a look at the Nikonians page - there are complex diagrams about which lenses go with which cameras.
I think we should have a photography thread over here - nowt wrong with copying rlfans!

Would it help if I said it was a ###### lens? It couldn't hurt but unfortunately I wouldn't believe you.
I'll be getting the Nikkor version and hoping my bank balance forgives me.

Sigma do some excellent lenses at very reasonable prices - I recently bought a Sigma 70-300 Telephoto for

Actually I'd add that this lens issue is very annoying for the Nikon D60. I can't actually get the lens I want because there's no stock in the country - demand outruns supply by 7:1. There's a lot of D40x/D60 uses but not enough lenses to keep us happy!
I am now looking at having to double the amount I wanted to spend - which I can't really afford to do - and getting a Nikon own lens.

Purely out of interest, what photo editing software do people use?
Photoshop Elements

How easy to use is clikpic - and is it good value for what you get?
Very tempted to set up a website.

I used a Samsung GX10 (essentially a rebadged Pentax) when 'On Assignment' with Amateur Photographer last year. It's a very good camera although a bit heavier than I would like if out on a long shoot. I think it's GX20 now but it's well worth a look and the lenses that go with it (Schneider I think - but also rebadged as Samsung) do get good reviews.

2) Buy a copy of Understanding Exposure by Bryan Patterson - changed the way I thought about photography and taught me a lot about taking light readings, white balance and exposing, and is really easy to read.
100% agree. Fantastic book.

I have a Nikon D40x which has been superseded by the D60. It's a superb, light camera which has the right mix (to my mind) of auto features and manual control.
The only downside, and it is a major one, is that lenses for it must have an AF motor on the lens as the camera itself doesn't have one. This means that for Nikon badged lenses you're restricted to AF-S and from Sigma they have to be HSM ones. These are comparatively new systems which means there's no secondhand market as such so getting more lenses once you've got your initial bundle won't necessarily be cheap or easy.
Jessops are currently offering a bundle of a D60 with 18-55 and 70-200 lenses plus bag, battery and memory card for

Looks a good camera. Not sure why anyone would buy a 450D in preference to it thought?
I am going to collect my lovely new farcically expensive Nikkor lens on my way home.
I am also going to be eating bread and water for lunch for the next few months.
