What is the difference between the Nikon G lenses and the D? For one thing, the G lens has no aperture ring - it's set from the camera.

While the G lenses do not have a manual diaphragm control on the lens itself and is controlled through using the camera control. However most G lenses also are S lenses that autofocus spectacularly faster than the focusing on most D lenses. Basically D lenses can be used on Film and Digital cameras and DX lenses are designed for the Digital camera only-but contain S autofocusing. >>What is the difference between the Nikon G lenses and the D? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > lenses are designed for the Digital camera only-but contain S > autofocusing. So would it be fair to say D - film and digital G - digitally integrated DX - digital only Stan Beck wrote: > No One wrote: > >> What is the difference between the Nikon G lenses and the D? > For one thing, the G lens has no aperture ring - it's set from the camera. I believe D refers to Distance which tells the focus distance to the camera for the purpose of calculating flash exposure.

I never really used the distance scale much, so that didn't come to mind. SignatureThe smaller the fine print, the less you will like what it says.
