An equivalent lens for the Canon Rebel not only costs less, but will autofocus. I read that I need to order an AF-S lens to auto focus. Cheapest one here is the 35mm and its like $400.

The camera kept insisting that I open it to f22, and it would not autofocus. Very disappointing. Rating: 2 / 5 Solid lens, but it is not compatible with the D60.

The lens has NO AUTOFOCUS with the D60!!! What an incredible disappointment! How could a Nikon lens not have AF on a camera that was just released? This makes no sense but it works fine on a d300...no fair! Shots are sharp but it stinks to go back in time and have to manually focus.
