[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 181758, member: 12496"] I'm not sure I understand your question fully. Some non-Nikon for Nikon cameras say AF-S, and some of them are AF but not AF-S. And the D7100 will operate AF lenses that are not AF-S (with motor), or the AF-S too. The D nomenclature means the lens has a chip in it that communicates with the camera, notably focus distance. All Nikon lenses since 1992 are D lenses now. The G nomenclature means the lens does not have aperture ring for manually setting apeture. Instead, a dial on the camera operates it. This is becoming rather common, most of them. And AF-S is becoming rather common.
