[QUOTE="skene, post: 472367, member: 13155"] The differences are very slight between the two lenses, however much can be told in the fine details. The G lens, has rounder aperture blades which would round out the bokeh balls, is fairly sharper than the previous D lens. However the only downfall to this would be the additional cost. If you go with the D lens, you can use it on any body that has the focus motor on the body. You will save yourself a bit more $$$ in cost savings. You will experience sharper edged more polygon shaped bokeh balls, but that trade off is negligible the way I see it. Here is one of my shots with the 50 1.8D, whereas you can see with the distant car lights showing the polygon bokeh.
