Can a Nikon AF 70-300mm f 4-5.6 G Nikkor telephoto zoom lens fit a Nikon D40 camera? yes?
If so is it good for far picturs
The 70-300 mm lens is used for many things. Shooting sports field and other action shots that can not come to action, and to photograph wildlife or zoo. You may want to save some good money and get the AF-S VR 70-300 mm zoom I think we've covered the part of the lens fitting your camera to your last question … he does it, you just learn to focus manually using electronic rangefinder in the camera viewfinder.
