Hi, could someone tell if there is a way to identify if old lens without built-in motors would have exposure metering on my Nikon D60 body.
Maybe Tamron, Sigma and lens of other brands have some abbreviation which show that lens have CPU and would be able to give readings to camera?
Or maybe there is list of compatibility of 3rd party lens like this:

Thank you!
Answer
No, unless the lenses have motors in the lens (AF-S on Nikon's, USM on Canon's by the way), they will not auto-focus or meter correctly
The good news is that there are 25 AF-S lenses currently made by Nikon and many more AF-S and AF-I lenses made since 1992.
You may find it a better idea to buy a good used Nikon lens, rather than a third party lens.

What lens should I use for this camera?
Jagger
Hello, can I add a lens to improve this camera or should I just buy a better camera instead? And if so which camera is a good improvement but still fairly cheap if possible please?

Answer
Hi Jagger,
You have gotten many answers that point out the limitations of your Point & Shoot type cameras and a few that suggest modestly priced interchangeable lens cameras that would be. Digital cameras with interchangeable lenses usually have physically larger image sensors which dramatically improve image quality (and make it easier to develop a range of lenses for different purposes). Fhotoace refers to EVIL type cameras. The term EVIL is an abbreviation for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens camera but the term has generally been regarded as derogatory and is now more commonly replaced by either MILC (Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera) or EVF (Electronic View Finder) to identify cameras the feature interchangeable lenses. Electronic view finders allow through the lens viewing similar to the operation of the more widely used Digital SLR (DSLR) cameras without the complex construction, size and weight required for the optical viewing of DSLR models.
The Nikon J series camera mentioned in one of the other answers are MILC models other brands include Olympus Pen series, Panasonic DMC (Olympus and Panasonic use the same lens mount called Micro Four Thirds) series and Sony NEX series; other camera manufacturers including Canon have introduced MILC models. However, Olympus/Panasonic and Sony were early innovators and have more extensive model and lens selections available and probably offer the best value for your money. You can buy some new MILC type cameras for about half the cost the fhotoace quotes and you can often find affordable kits or used lenses to fit these, espeially for Nex of Micro Four Thirds cameras.
Here are links to more affordable models from Olympus, Panasonic and Sony -

Iwill also put links to the Micro Four Thirds site and one to General Sony information in my sources.
I hope that helps. Feel free to email me (from my Yahoo profile) if you would like more detailed information.
