D is old, G is new.
Very simple.

lol

AF-D has no built in AF motor in lens, so unless ur body has a motor you have to manual focus. Older Nikon body and entry level body has no AF motor in their body...so if they use AF-D have to manually twist the focus ring to focus.

AF-G has a built in AF motor, it can AF in all nikon body


some say AF-D is better, some say AF-G is better, afaik i r haz no money so i r buy AF-D

Nikkor 50mm AF f/1.4D
the older model, AF using body motor

Nikkor AFS 50mm f/1.4G
newer model, with built-in AF motor, can AF on lower entry level cams

this is very confusing ppl, lol
if like dat ppl ask then y not jz get new 1

almost 1k different

Correct, 50mm f/1.4 versus 16-85 maybe.. but if you compare to the professional grades, 24-70 or 70-200 type... I don't think they that noticeable sharper. Probably the same or so. I don't have a 50mm f/1.4 so I don't know =/.

Don't care already ...I don't care whether i cant AF or not...I will set my mind on that lil 50mm!!!

u havent seen Sigma 50mm price

ya, quite rite
but if 85mm f/1.4 vs 70-200 leh?

ooo, poison shield break?

no lar just that all the while i wanted to get that 50mm but kenot AF on it mah..so i cancel up the plan...then i saw that 35mm also not bad woh ....but but now after see-ing 50mm is in my budget...so why not...train up my MF

nikon
another noob question...
i have viewed f1.8d and f1.4d...
apart from the F...
still got what diff? somebody have example photo of f1.8d?

No debate, 85mm f/1.4D definitely. That is the sharpest in Nikon's line up!

now dreaming bout d rumoured AFS 85 f/1.4 VR
either this or my nxt target is 24 f/1.4 which will b few years later

dare not even dream about 85mm lol wanna get my 50mm f/1.4 then my giottos tripod and lowepro bag... after that only start dreaming...

i dun think any dslr got fake product...its not exactly easy to make and not a very large market compare to mobile phone which every1 needs..

only gray sets which are imported by the shop rather than through Nikon malaysia

how much is the 85 f1.4 for now??

but then...
he told me that if/when seller provide you the warranty paper of his own shop instead of (whatever) warranty card...it mean the camera is fake..
PS i using grey set also...

not fake la...ur friend mis understand d...

camera shop provided warranty means the shop bring in their own from Nikon HK, meaning they dint pay Nikon malaysia for the set, and thus no warranty from Nikon malaysia.

almost every d90 user here has their set from Nikon HK because that is Nikon HQ for SEA la i think...

^that not fake..it is grey set...camera and handphone are two different thing...cant compare together...
