DaveZS - Yes they will all auto focus on your D40, as they're all AF-S lenses. The VR range of lenses are quite well thought of from what ive read in the past, plus as neal says you have the added bonus of the VR meaning you will probably get more keepers than with a lens that doesnt have this feature.
