Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras, Does it autofocus on Nikon D40?
and what do you think about this lense, thank you
Unfortunately, it will not autofocus on the D40. The D40 requires Nikon AF-S designated lenses or Sigma HSM designated lenses.
Nikon makes a 55-200 VR lens which will autofocus and a non-VR 55-200mm, as does Sigma. Link to Sigma:

Nikon also makes a 70-300mm AF-S lens that will autofocus, if you want the 300mm focal length:

The 70-300mm focal length lenses are pretty much identical. The performance differences (other than AF compatibility) are that Sigma's glass tends to be much warmer than Nikon's look, which is neutral to cool. I often prefer the Nikon look, but I will buy third party lenses if they offer something I can't find in a Nikon lens, like a particular focal length or good performance for the price. For example, the Sigma 80-400 optically stabilized lens performs as well or better than its Nikon equivalent, it's cheaper, and it will AF on your D40 because it has a built-in focus motor. Another example: Sigma makes a 50-500mm lens that has no Nikon equivalent.
Sorry, no secret compartments or features built into any Sigma lenses...but if you're buying lenses for "secret" features that nobody knows about...you'd probably believe just about anything then. All of the major third party lens makers, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina have always stood by their lenses, and their quality is quite good. Tokina was founded by former Nikon lens designers for example. I also wouldn't quote Ken Rockwell, because he's known for testing cameras by reading the specs and, get this, imagining how they would perform based on the specs and not actual hands on testing. Beware of any one who quotes Ken Rockwell.
