Hello, I am new to this forum and new to Digital photography. Although I have knowledge of Film SLR, i am completely "in the dark" with Digital SLR and have a few questions. I received a Nikon D40 for christmas and I absolutely love it so far. However, I feel a bit limited shooting with just the stock AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm lens. My main area of interest is shooting nature photos as well as photos of my reptiles. I find that with the 18-55mm lens, I am able to get some great macro shots, which emphasize the color and texture of my chameleons scalation. However, I would also like to own a lens that allows me to get some decent ranged shots; for example, I wold like to be able to take pictures of wildlife in their natural state. What type of Lens would you recommend for this approach? From what I am aware, Nikon's D40 series lacks an internal motor, which limits it to only lenses with built-in internal motors? This means that my D40 is only compatible with AF-s type lenses, correct? If this is true, what type of lenses am I limited to with this type of DSLR? Thanks so much for your help!:hail:
