Woohoo D200

[mikebullock]

I've just joined the Nikon Club (upgrading from an FZ50)
I'll be spending most of my night reading the Manual

anyway I was just wondering if the "Nikon Af 70-300/4.0-5.6 G" Lens, would be able to Autofocus with the camera

Thanks

yes it will

Yes to your question.

My first digital was the D200 - still have it as my backup. Moved up to the D700. But, I loved my D200 - it's a wonderful camera and some argue that it has better metering than the D700 and I think I agree. The main reason I got the D700 was high iso noise - and it's a dream - because I need it. Now, i'm just trying to ignore the D3s

Any and every lens labeled AF-S or AF (or by extension, anything that says AF) will autofocus on your D200. While Ken Rockwell is an idiot, the one thing he's gotten right is lens compatibility: link

Specifically, anything that says AF will autofocus on the D200. Anything that has a chip in it (AI, AI-S, AI-converted) will meter.

Thanks for the replies everyone
I'm really loving the camera, and I ordered the lens, thank you very much
it's just what I've been wanting and way in my price range as opposed to the VR models
I'm currently toying with the idea of getting a Nikkor 50mm/F1.8 D AF lens
