Can this lens be used on the NIKON D40? null

Yes, you can use the 70-300 AF-S lens. Nikon offers two types of autofocus digital camera bodies: those with a built-in focus drive motor and those which require a lens to have a motor.The D40 does not have a focus motor, it can be smaller and lighter but does require the lens to have the focusing motor – an “AF-S” lens. While these bodies can use a lens with no focus motor (an “AF” lens) you would have to manually turn the focus ring to bring the subject in to sharp focus.

Have not heard of any problems with the D40 and 70-300mm VR combination.
