Photography people. Looking for a telephoto lens
Looking for a new lens for my d40
At the moment i'm leaning towards the Nikon AF-S VR 70-300mm
Nikon AF-S VR 70-300mm
But i've just found the following lenses
Tamron 70-300mm
and
Sigma 70-300mm
First off, i assume both those lenses will still be able to be used in auto focus mode with my d40?
Is the nikon lens worth the extra money?

Yea, i've got the money ready to spend, just wanted to make sure it was worth the extra. I'll be looking to get a new tripod and head next, if i get the Nikon lens, then i will have to wait for next month for them, if i get any of the cheaper lenses then i can get it sooner.

Buy the best you can affaord - it will return its value to you with the pictures you take with it
I wanted something a bit special so treated my camera to a Canon EF 100-400 F4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Lens - absolutely amazing lens, hefty price in the UK mind, got it for less than half the UK price by ordering from the states - saved over £700 that way - Buy it right first time

When I was buying it (7 months ago) Warehouseexpress had it in at £1500 -I gave £700 for it - My old man was out in vegas at the time so got him to buy it for me and I gave him the cash

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.
upload them to www.flickr.com it'd be nice to see them
then post them in this thread https://passionford.com/forum/showthread.php?t=263320
