In another thread, I mentioned that the Nikon D40 & D60 needed AF-S or AF-I lenses. I also mentioned that I had the Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AF-D lens, which
required an autofocus motor in the camera body. This is a phenominal lens, known for it's sharpness, and creamy smooth OOF regions in your image.
It's an extremely fast lens with a huge aperture (f/1.4).
Here are a few photos of it, I have circled the autofocus drive, where the camera body focuses the lens, in the last two photos:

That little slot is where the camera focus' the lens? That's pretty cool. I have to admit i don't know jack about cameras.

Yes, and here is a comparison of the D40, and D80 camera bodies. Notice the autofocus drive (this engages with the slot in the lens) is missing on the D40:
