[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 487800, member: 15675"] From Nikon support: After the move to G (no diaphragm control on the lens when mounted), now the move to E takes away the mechanical link to the diaphragm. The evolution of lenses was first one of adding (communication with the camera and control from the camera) now to remove from the lens some functionality (control from the lens) to not have it double anymore. I personally like D lenses which have both options, but the new lenses will require newer bodies, however the E lenses have design advantages (and Canon has done it since ages). My personal issue is with the Nikon 300mm Nikkor f4E, which is a lot more portable but will not work on my D70s (or mechanical adaptor to the Sony A7 series). [/QUOTE]
