D40 Wide Angle

[Applefanboy]

Does the old nikon 28mm f/3.5 work on the D40? I know it wouldn't be able to autofocus and meter.
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

Thanks!

Pretty sure it would work but like you said it wouldn't focus and stuff.

I'm pretty sure that's not exactly a lens that would be considered wide angle either

Correct, the lens won't focus nor meter (I'm assuming by "old" you mean pre AI-S) and on a crop body, that is actually the equivalent of a 42mm FL, so it's not really a wide-angle either.
