Nice one KT....

Bottom line, The D40X has no on-board AF motor, It therefore relies on lens models that have the AF motor within the lens...!!!

The 80-400 Nikon lens is an old screw drive ( A tad slow at that ) Hence it needs a body with its own AF motor.

If your looking at a lens with sort of range, You might want to have a look at some of the big Sigma offerings....
