Ok I know the older Nikon lenses will not autofocus on the D40X, will all of the older lenses at least meter on the D40X. Any sites that will give me a listing of what will do what on the D40X??? Thanks in advance

AF lenses will meter and can manual focus. AI lenses will not meter but can manual focus. AFS lenses will meter and auto focus.

Here is a chart containing more details.

Also, Sigma makes HSM lenses that will meter and auto focus on the D40x.

Look for "AF-S" Nikon lenses

Yes, "AF-S" are fully compatible, "AF" will meter but not AF, "AI" will not meter.

There are also several non-HSM Sigma lenses that will AF on the D40/x/60.
These cameras require a lens with a focus motor, but not specifically an
"HSM" motor. A micro motor will do.

Here is a list of D40/D40x/D60 fullt compatible lenses:

That list is the best going in one place but it is not comprehensive.
It does not list the Nikon 80--200 AF-S f/2.8 for example.

The list is of current lenses. The AF-S version of the 80-200 is not current.

Other compatible discontinued lenses, such as the AF-I types, are also not in the list.

Point taken! But it does not actually say current lenses/lenses about to be launched and does include eg. the old Mk I 18-55 as well as the Mk II and the VR version!
