[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 599960, member: 13090"] AF, in Nikon lingo, means the lens will autofocus on camera bodies that have an auto-focus motor, but these lenses will not auto-focus on camera bodies that do not have an auto-focus motor. AF-S, on the other hand, means the lens includes Nikon's Silent Wave motor IN the lens itself and so will auto-focus on all Nikon bodies. I believe ALL modern Canon lenses have their own auto-focus motor, correct? So you don't need to worry about this distinction; with Nikon lenses/bodies you very much DO need to pay attention to this. If in doubt, just come here and ask. This handy article will help you make sense of Nikon abbreviations: [url=https://photographylife.com/nikon-lens-nomenclature]Nikon Lens Nomenclature[/url] [/QUOTE]
