I understand the aperture ring loosening is a problem with the model that I have, but I'm not sure if it's a problem with the D version.  As it is, I rarely use it.  I have the AF 18-55 & AF-55-200 which came with my D3000 originally, and a non-AF AIS 35mm f/1.4, & the early AF 85mm f/1.8.  Those fit a lot of my photo needs, and I do not miss not using the 35-70.</blockquote>
