The D40's and lower end Nikons are GREAT cameras BUT you can't use some of the classic amazing glass that Nikon made since there is no focus motor in the D40, you have to use the newer AFS lenses with the motors in them. Which means no 50mm 1.8 or 1.4, 85mm 1.8 or 1.4 or any of their great primes.

I speak your language and know exactly what you are talking about.
