The Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG will not autofocus with the D40 since the lens does not feature an internal focusing motor (HSM). The D40 does not have an AF motor in the body and hence it can autofocus only with lenses featuring an integrated motor (eg. Nikon AF-S lenses, Sigma HSM lenses, Tokina DX II series etc). Unfortunately you can use the said lens only in MF mode.
Thanks heaps for the quick reply. Unfortunately the company sent me the wrong lens as Sigma make a 70-300mm with an internal motor for the Nikon D40 and of course I get the wrong one
That is right. They call it Motorized and not HSM, for reasons known only to Sigma
Their ways are mysterious....
