Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

I received the lens, couldn’t wait to use it in action. The lens has NO AUTOFOCUS with the D60!!! What an incredible disappointment! How could a Nikon lens not have AF on a camera that was just released? This makes no sense but it works fine on a d300…no fair! Shots are sharp but it stinks to go back in time and have to manually focus.

The description plainly states this lens is for Nikon SLR cameras, however that is not entirely true.
The Nikon DX-60 does not have an onboard servo to auto-focus the lens but instead depends on the servo being on the lens. Since this lens does not have an onboard servo, the auto-focus will not work on Nikon DX60′s.
I would assume this to be true of the other DX model cameras that do not have onboard servos such as the DX-60.
Amazon needs to clarify which models this will auto focus with.

There is no problem and they gave me a coupon of $10 for next purchase.

Solid lens, but it is not compatible with the D60. The camera kept insisting that I open it to f22, and it would not autofocus. Very disappointing.

I’m not a pro photographer. I bought the nikon d70 that came with the lens. I was pretty happy with it, but I felt I need more flexibility in low light conditions. so i bought this lens. so from a 3.5 to a 1.8, i was able to shoot in a faster speed in low light conditions. the only problem i had with this was that automatic focus kinda sucked. compared to the other lens, this was pretty loud when automatic focus was turned on. for some pictures AF didnt work so i had to trun to manual focus. not completely happy but for about 100 bucks i guess its worth it
