My Nikon D40 arrived today and of course I had to basically drop everything and play with it after the battery charged. I took a few shots with the 18-55mm lens that came with it and then grabbed my AF Nikkor 35-70mm macro lens from the my old N90S to take a couple of pen photos. I still need to fine tune the white balance and exposure, but overall I am very pleased. Contrary to what one moderator here said, older Nikon lenses will work on the D40, but only the AF-S and AF-I lenses will focus automatically. I never liked autofocus for macro shots anyway so it's no big deal to me. Even my old AI lenses fit, I just lose a bit of functionality. All in all, I am very pleased with the results so far. This in an Olympia made from CSUSA's new Toucan plastic. I sold the first one I made so decided I better make another.
