[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 363677, member: 12496"] An impressive list Sparky, but regarding "meaning" for Nikon, two tiny additions (footnotes) would improve the understanding of it. AF-S - The silent wave motor IS IN THE LENS. Other lenses (except AF-I) require a camera body with a focus motor in the body. Significance is, the entry level camera models (today, the D3300, D5300 series) do Not have the motor. So only the AF-S lenses can auto focus with the entry level cameras - other AF lenses cannot. D lens - All lenses designed since 1991 are D lenses, including later G and AF-S lenses, etc. Those marked D just don't have any more features to say. [/QUOTE]
