My son has just bought the Nikon D40x and didn't realize that it won't work with auto focus lenses. Can anyone recommend any lenses they use that will work with auto focus rather than manual on the d40x? Motor driven lenses.

It will autofocus with AF-S and AF-I lenses. Such is the Nikon way. For clarity, see below.

Antyhing Nikon with AF-S in the name. Anything Sigma with HSM in the name. Anything Tamron that says "Nikon with Built-In Motor"

The Nikon D40x uses any and all Nikkor AF-S lenses.

It will work with Nikkor AF lenses but your son will have to learn how to use the cameras electronic rangefinder, NOT a big deal. Using the rangefinder will make him a more disciplined shooter

Here's a list (to be updated as newer models are announced) of lenses that autofocus with the D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, & D5100 cameras.

Notice the list includes Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, and other brand lenses.

Hope this helps.
