Question for photographers

[Stratman]

My venerable Nikon D70s (still a great camera) has a motor in the body for autofocus. If I buy a lens which has its own autofocus motor built in, what will happen?

Will they fight each other? Will one take priority (which one)? Any help will be gratefully received.

The lens I'm considering is the Nikon 18-200mm like this
or perhaps its Tamron equivalent

My Sony has the same set up and all I do is to turn off the lens autofocus, the lens is a Sigma 18-250.

I use Canon, so am not familiar with Nikon lenses. Hope this helps

I use all Nikon gear, the lens will be fine on that body.

The camera will power the lens motor and control it using the contacts on the lens. The lens won't have a coupling for the camera's motor so there's no conflict.

Typically in-lens motors are quicker and quieter.
