I agree that it should, but it'd be nice to hear that someone has the D40 with the Sigma 10-20mm and has actually had it work for them. BTW, this site is a Godsend, thanks Larry, Corey Shelton Has anyone confirmed that the Sigma 10-20mm actually DOES auto focus.

It's great. Cheap, wide, excellent results. The review screen is great, color accurate, large and bright. The D40 light meter is optimized for consumer use, it produces lighter results than other nikons - I use a D50 and a D70 - and this is great for our needs. The matrix metering is really across the full scene, not center-weighted like the D70, which was ending with often +3/4 exposure compensation. I would be afraid of the only 2 stops exposure compensation of the canons. I'm certainly biased towards Nikon, but given that they have the same features, I think the ergonomics made them a little better than Canon.
