Hello! I'm looking forward to spending more time with this community as I gradually get back into photography.
I took photography for 2 1/2 years when I was in high school. I'm currently a junior in college and I want to get back into it.
I was gifted a Nikon N80, but the problem is that film and paper are very expensive and the process is incredibly time consuming. I have a large courseload and I don't have the time to really spend on developing film and hanging around enlargers all day. I still would like to explore film photography so I have no intention of selling my N80, but I would like to make the shift and purchase a DSLR.
Now, I am limited to Nikon because I already have a Nikon lens. I'm currently looking at the D40 but I'm wondering if I should shell out the extra cash and get a D40x, would that be worth it? I am essentially limited by price and I'm currently leaning towards the D40 because they are considerably cheaper (on eBay).
Furthermore, how would I know if my lens would be compatible with the D40(x)? And would features like auto-focus work? I don't know much about the lens itself, so how would I find out details about it?
