>>93670 in before 'cant AF on D40' the 50mm is a non-AF-S(or AF-I) lens so it will *FULLY* work except it wont AF, other than needing to MF the lens on the D40, its a fantastic lens. I have the f/1.4D version, its super great, but not really worth the price premium over the f/1.8D. As you asked what does 'D' mean on the nikkor lenses, it simply stands for 'Distance'. The lens tells the camera how far the object is, thus the camera can calculate and implement nikon's legionary i-TTL flash system. D is only important with flash photography and means nothing otherwise. But all new lenses from 1992 onwards are D lenses anyway. Then there is 'G' lenses, these are essentially 'D' lenses but without an aperture ring, this means completely nothing to you, so you can buy 'D' or 'G' lenses without any worry. Lenses without 'D' or 'G' on it are normally pre -1992 and are AI-s or earlier. these lesnes will all mount on your D40 but not meter, so learn sunny 16 rule ;) and since they are pre-AF, MF will be required as expected.
