Hello All,

Just received a Nikon D40x for the holiday's and love it. But I have a number of questions as reasonable newcomer to the SLR party you have all been having for a few years now. The digital landscape has changed and so much for the better.

How do I know what lenses are compatable with this camera, versus the d80 and so forth? I understand that the autofocus mechanism (in the D40x's case) is internal to the lens vs. the camera body.

More specifically I am looking at getting the Tamron AF/IF 20-40MM F/2.7-3.5 Aspherical, and would like to see if it will play nicely with my new toy. Are there references out there that key you in on things like this, if so where?

Thank you in advance,
Andy
