hi you could read up on kenrockwell... less tech jargon

an AI lens will be an old manual focus lens. for the d7000 will be able to shoot in Aperture and Manual mode i think.
is there a particular one that you have set your sight on? (perhaps you were attracted to its cheaper price?)
or maybe someone passed you some old lens?
whether you will enjoy manually focusing is a separate issue.
an AF-S lens is perfectly compatible with the d7000.

hello ts =)
im pretty sure u can use most of the lens on your d7k as it got the motor to drive the af so no worry just shoot
=)
af-d 50mm 1.8d is 1 of a not bad choice in term of budget and iq =) bokeh not bad too

Ai lenses are basically manual focusing lenses, having a built-in motor won't help. Even so, the D7000 is able to meter with Ai lenses, so no problem there.
Precisely...as AF-D lenses is different from that of an Ai lenses for the latter is a full-time
manual focusing lenses...here the "catch"...!!
manual focusing lenses...here the "catch"...!!So do professionals uses Manual Focus? I understand that AF is more user friendly in lots of way but if we are using Manual focus how do we know that we are actually using the right focus? Manual focus take up alot of time too right?
35mm lens and a 50mm lens which do you guys recommend if I'm going to take picture of people and scenery? Do 1.4 and 1.8 aperture makes A LOT of difference? Sorry for the questions spam...

some disciplines of photography need to manual focus. yes it will take time to master.
so whatever u r shooting is it time sensitive?
i think 1.4 and 1.8 not a lot of different given the d7000's ISO capabilities.
some use, some dont. it also depends on situations where manual focusing works best, such as macro. u can replace the existing focusing screen to a split prism focusing screen to help u in manual focusing. both 35mm n 50mm lenses can take both landscapes n people. to see if either focal length fits ur shooting preferences, stick ur kit lens to either 35mm or 50mm n shoot at these focal lengths only.
besides, get only wad u NEED. dun buy just because some1 says "oh this lens is great n value for money" when that particular lens may not even suit ur shooting preferences. there r ppl who bought these two lenses n regretted their purchases although the lenses r great. as for the differences between f/1.4 n f/1.8, u get to shoot at higher shutter speeds with the f/1.4 in available light plus the shallower depth of field. makes it better for low light usage n better subject isolation.
some of the f/1.4 lenses render the bokeh in a much more pleasing manner compared with their f/1.8 counterparts.
you sort of do get what you pay for
