Matt,

1. The Nikon 55-200mm f/4.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX does indeed have a built-in AF-motor and also vibration reduction (VR).

2. As you know the Nikon indication for lenses with built-in focusmotor is AF-S.
Comparable Sigma lenses are indicated by HSM; Tamron uses BIM for the same. Tokina is just starting to market such lenses, but have no special indication yet. The first Tokina lens with built-in AF-motor for Nikon to reach the market will be the SD 12-24mm F4 (IF) DX II.
The indication DX has no relevance to AF-motors at all; it only indicates that the lens in principle can only be used on Nikon DSLR’s with DX (=APS-C) size sensors and not on FX (“fullframe”) sensors.

Thank you very much again 😀

Heres what I’m going to do, due to money problems at this moment in time. I just buy the camera with the Kit lens and when I have to enough I shall buy the lens with the Auto-focus built in. Then it gives me time to practice with the camera itself etc.

I need some help on lens, like what all the letters mean etc.

1. What type of mount, should I be looking for? Nikon F?

2. AF and AF/S ?

Say if i wanted to find one that focuses automatic like the above said, what should I be looking for.

Matt,

I will post some pics later from Kemble BoB Day later. All taken on a Nikon D40 with 300mm lens, so you can see the results. Although bear in mind I’m not very good, and anyone with a bit more ability could makeget some great shots.

I’ll sort mine out and post some good ones

Steve

That will be great 🙂

Thanks to the above 🙂

Thank you very much. Is there any other items you think I should get as well as the above. Anything that can help is appreciated. 🙂
