24G colour all same pattern with the latest N coat series lens, be it zoom or primes

can always PP the color and the D color is okay to me.
your poison didn't work!!!!!!!! HAHAHA

It's about double or more than double the price of 1.8D; Worth or not depends on the person who will be investing in it.
The best is to test out yourself at Nikon BTS, they have the 1.8D, 1.4D and 1.4G; Test out yourself and see/feel the difference and whether its worth to pay for it.

If you're photographer earning $$$, it might be worth to get the G as you will get your return on investment; But if you're a hobbyist or not earning much, then it depends on your budget and how much you're willing to pay,... also, probably how detail-conscious you are? Sometimes, people don't really look/know the details but they just want to get the best there is; If they have the $$$ then it's not a problem, else, they should think more properly whether it's to pay the extra bucks.

Whatever your choice, most important is for your to test out yourself; In the end, it's still just a tool, it depends on your skills and how you utilize it. If one day you found its limitation and wishes to upgrade, I "believe" you can still sell the lens at good price.

PP as u wish, it will never have the colour signature of the G lens. That's why i resist to buy 85 1.4D and I sold off my 80-200 right after I have tested the 70-200vr2.... Actually not only the colour is better, everything else i just a little bit or way better compared to the old lens and buying a good lens will last you for a long long time.. Pain once only buy the best

Thanks!

Am just a hobbyist and want a 85 that can be use wide open without problem. I won't consider the G at all as it is too expensive.
I just want a lens that I know is money well spent and will have me to blame for the bad photos instead of the gear was not up to par and regret later on.

But will try it out at BTS myself to see the difference.

dun hav the luxury to try the trinity G & N.
but certainly. 24-120mm w N have better color contrast than any of my non G & N lenses.

so...who wanna buy my AFD 80-200mm

That's why it is in my

Don't bother those who don't understand why newer technology is better

70-200mm VR has much noticeable difference from the 80-200mm, the first is thing is weight, then the focusing speed, and with VR.... handheld on close subject with slow shutter speed is possible, and the quality is simply amazing. Continuous focus speed is blazing fast... overall,... really
But the price

Lol u go try 85 1.4D and 85 1.4G wide open i am sure u will buy the G lens right away, the D lens is quite soft at 1.4 compared to the G lens

As if I'm not hobbyist !
And 1k different expensive meh ?
Can spend 3k for a lens can't spend extra for better ? LMAO.
Anyway, as you like

LOL im currently funding to get 80-200mm AFD

So someone please buy my tokina! link below

Wait till they have friends with another lens then they compare and regret

Actually the 80-200 is heavier from what i feel but the specification sheet says otherwise, 70-200vr2 is very well balanced while the 80-200 is very front heavy

woooo, you're one bad fella to be with!
I'm not a pro and not making $$$ with my gears so that little bit difference in color is okay to me.

How much is the G around Klang Valley, think it's gonna be too pain for me!

Talking about telephoto, how about the 70-300? it's cheap and it's quite sharp apparently.

I don't trust third party. Period

I'm only a boy not yet a man. 1k is a lot to me.

Let him regret his purchase later, 1k to me is very little for a lens ... i think u might as well get 1.8D if u fail to see the difference between 1.4D and 1.4G

Then they will sell and buy again which mean they spend more moolah instead

70-300 sharp meh ? side by side with 70-200 and see

what third party? I mean the nikkor 70-300 not constant aperture of course.
