Do any of you know if a Tamron lens will fit in a Nikon D40 camera.? I used to have the Tamron 18-200 lens that I really liked but I sold it with my Canon camera. Now I have the Nikon and I'm trying to find a similar lens that is in that price range.
Thanks for any advice.

Tamron sells glass for different makes. You will need to check that it is specifically made for a Nikon.

Keep in mind older glass will work on the D40 as well, but not with auto focus or metering. You will just need to shoot in Manual mode.
