[QUOTE="Fred Kingston, post: 719511, member: 10742"] There are some other small nuanced differences between the D and G types. Mostly to do with vintage of the D types. As time progresses of course Nikon tweaks their optics recipes a bit especially in the lens coatings area of the G types. The G types also tend to be "lighter" in weight than some of the older D types... Nikon also made and continues to make different price points within each of the two lens types. You can't arbitrarily say that the aperture ring is the only difference between the two types without comparing the actual lenses in question...You are pretty safe in purchasing late model D types... Notwithstanding Cindy's point below... [/QUOTE]
