Make sure that if you buy a used lens that it has the motor in the lens, or just accept that older lenses will be manual focus only.

Example: I used to run 35mm Nikon equipment. I loved my old 8008 but i got out of photography and it just gathered dust for the last 10 years. I've recently wanted to buy a new DSLR and would of course return to Nikon. My old 28mm lens is fully compatible with the new SLRs but it will only be manual focus because before digital the motor was in the camera not the lens. I can still use it, but only in manual.
