About Lenses
Hi Guys
Have been using a D60 for some time now with a standard stock 50mm 1.8 .. The manual focusing is fine but now it's becoming a hassle when shooting fast moving objects.. What do you recommend for an Auto Focus lens to be used on a D60? Any 2nd hand ones? |

Re: About Lenses
for the D60 u need AF-S lenses which will allow for autofocusing.
have a look at the B&S section, looking for any AF-S lenses. good luck  |

Re: About Lenses
3 suggestions to check out:-
nikkor af-s 50/1.4 nikkor af-s 35/1.8 sigma 35/1.4 dc hsm all of the above will AF with your D60...they ain't cheap, so you might want to consider an alternative which is to upgrade your D60 to (1) a used D80 (cheaper option) OR (2) a D90...with the motor built into the camera itself, you will have a far wider choice of lenses to look at...with both aforementioned camera bodies, your AF-D 50/1.8 will AF  i just moved from the D40 to the D90 and am very happy for the fact that my AF-D 50/1.8 will now AF...so much less hassle than MF (i'm a lazy git  )hope this is helpful

Re: About Lenses
