[QUOTE="ejronin, post: 625315, member: 43743"] I own both the D and G variant of the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8. Of the two, I much prefer the sharpness of the D over the G. I find if I let my camera do the AF it's never exactly where I want (depending on distance from subject, the razor-thin focal plane makes a world of difference.) So for example, the AF sensor on almost all cameras will be slightly offset from the guide box in the viewfinder. G lenses, in my experience offer slightly less manual control on the lens itself, and I prefer to control at the source not the destination. That aside, the D is smaller, less expensive, and just as capable (some argue noticeably sharper, if that's your thing) [/QUOTE]
