[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 346727, member: 12496"] I could not tell if your D lens request was seeking a less expensive lens, or the specific D feature? All Nikon lenses (those introduced since 1992) are D lenses. This means they have the chip in them, also called a "CPU lens" (earlier lenses are called non-CPU lenses). The D chip can report focus distance and model information to the camera. But they all do this now. Those lenses (since 1992) that do not say D simply have other newer features to boast. For example, a G lens (2000) has no external aperture ring, aperture is adjusted only by the camera. Or there are AF-S lenses (1998, ultrasonic focus motor), etc. But they will not say that and D, they simply say the newer feature. It can be assumed that all lenses since 1992 are D lenses, containing the chip inside for communication with the camera. Those that say D simply have nothing else to say. [/QUOTE]
