Support for no-AF motor growing

[chrisk]

Tamron annouced more goodies for d40/40x/60 owners...including the legendary 90mm macro lens. it appears that pretty much all of tamron, sigma and nikkors are now being released with in-lens motors so this is great news for d40/60 guys. but imo, it also signals that the loss of the motor cant be too far away further up the nikon line. maybe the next incarnation of the d90.

BUMP!

the introduction of in-built micro motors is really good for people with D40/40x/60's, too bad that the Tamron's to date are not AF-S equivalent (17-50mm 2.8, 70-200mm 2.8 especially from what I have heard and seen).

The 18-270mm VC looks interesting, do we have a worthy 18-200 VR competitor??
