Pop Photo Takes a Swipe at Nikon

Pop Photo's Mike McNamara takes a swing at Nikon (popphoto.com) for not making the Nikon D40 backwards compatible with older Nikkor lenses. He finishes by saying: But something doesn't feel right about a new DSLR that can't autofocus at any light level with a trusty Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D, or
