[QUOTE="blueiron, post: 984, member: 203"] The D model has the aperture ring on it in order to use with all SLR/DLSR cameras. The G model is for the F4 and more modern cameras. Otherwise, they are basically the same. The G is the fastest auto-focus lens for the D40/D60. The G model does allow you to focus at a touch of the focus ring, where to D model compels you to flip a switch first. Why anyone would want to is beyond me, unless you want to slightly out-focus your shot. Given the aperture ring, I prefer to buy the D models since I can use them on my F3. Since I am used to them from back in the pre-digital era, it is easier for me to manually set the aperture through the ring as opposed to flipping through dials on my F5 and D3 while in Manual mode.
