[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 297636, member: 12496"] A definition of a Nikon G lens: from [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_lenses]Nikon F-mount - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] [LIST] [*][B]G[/B] — Designation for lenses without an aperture ring, indicated after the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-stop"]f-number[/URL] in the name.

Only autofocus bodies with command dials are capable of controlling G lenses.
