Nikon D3000 with AF lenses?

[Grumby]

Nikon lists the AF lenses as compatible with the D3000 in all respects except autofocus... however - looking at the photo of the AF 50mm f/1.8 I am considering, it appears to have aperture markings, as though there is an aperture ring on the lens (though I'm not certain if there is or not). Does that mean that I would need to manually select aperture on the lens, or can the camera still control aperture based on your selection using the control wheel on the camera body?

Cheers,

The camera still has exposure metering capabilities and can control the aperture on AF lenses.

Many thanks. I stood in my local photography store for 20 minutes yesterday - camera in hand, standing right next to one in the display case. But do you think I could get a salesperson to come and open the cabinet for me to actually try it? Normally, they are all over you as soon as you walk in the door!!
