Can you recommend a prime lens for my Nikon D60?
I have a Nikon D60 and need a compatible prime lens that will work with the auto focus. What do you recommend? I see some lenses on the Nikon website but I don't know if they're compatible. I see that Nikkor has AF and AF-S lens. What is the difference? Does the camera auto focus of does the lens? Or both?
AF refers to the old style of autofocus Nikon used, which employed a motor in the camera body which connected to the lens via a "screwdriver" on the mount. AF-S lenses on the other hand come with their own dedicated motors, which are much quieter and often faster too.
Both the D40 and D60 lack the motor needed by those old lenses, which means it will only autofocus with AF-S models (or the occasional AF-I model). This greatly limits your selection when it comes to prime lenses. Besides some super-telephotos and a couple macro lenses, all Nikon offers right now is the 50mm 1.4 AF-S. And technically that's not even out yet. Beyond that you have the Sigma 30mm 1.4 HSM and 50mm 1.4 HSM (HyperSonic Motor = Their equivilant to AF-S).
