Well just my two cents from experience with the D60-when I first purchased the exact lens your referring to I nearly sent it back. It was sooo frustrating having to manual focus everything. I hadn't been shooting long, the D60 is my first camera and I'd only have about 4 months of any sort of practice. It was tiring, difficult and had a big learning curve. HOWEVER, after having it for two months I LOVE the lens. Love it. Did I mention that I love it? I'm still learning of course but depending on what you want to shoot it's a great lens-and for a hundred bucks, it’s worth it. Eventually, if you love Nikon (which I'm sure you do and will continue to) and you ever decide to upgrade, you won't have to worry about your little motoring problem. So. .02......there.
