Nikon D60 Lenses Compatibility

A little known fact about the new Nikon D60 is that it doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor (AF-S and AF-I lenses). This same thing can be in the Nikon D40 and Nikon D40x. However, the Nikon D60 has a new features, which is an electronic rangefinder to help manual focus on non AF-S / AF-I lenses.

The guys over at ShutterAsia has generously shared with all it's forumers on the list of compatible lenses that can be used with the Nikon D40/40x/60. They have also posted a link from Digital Photography Review on the list of the compatible lenses that can be used. The links to both the sites can be viewed below.

• Nikon D40, D40x & D60 Auto Focus Compatible Lenses List (Link to ShutterAsia Forum)

I am sure the list above is very helpful to all the Nikon D40/40x/60 users. For the benefit of those who are unable to view the above links for some reason, I have reproduced the link below for all.
