[QUOTE="aroy, post: 277912, member: 16090"] I am using the "D" lens with my D3300. The manual focusing is not all that difficult, once you get a hang of it. The green dot helps. Apart from price, another plus is that this lens has less distortion and less electronics to go wrong. While shooting video with D3300 I can easily manipulate the light by using the aperture ring, a feat not possible with the G lens. I wear glasses (-4 and -4.5) out of the range of the diopter adjuster. So I keep juggling my view as I cannot get it all at once in view finder. Still after getting it in reasonable focus on the screen I keep an eye on the "green dot". Once it starts blinking I know I am nearly there. As I used MF film cameras for the first 30 years, MF is easy for me, and with a little practice for all, else Zeiss would not sell. [/QUOTE]
