Hello folks,
I have recently decided to take the jump into the DSLR world as I will be going on a trip through Hong kong, Bangkok and India on my way back home to Belgium from a 1 year stay in Japan and I found it such a waste to go through all of these countries with amazing sights to be shot, with just an Iphone to do so.
That and I want to challenge myself artistically, as well ( how cliche that might sound, heh )
I have spend my free time in the last weeks researching more and more about photography and decided to go for the Nikon d5100 over the d3200 as it offers the bracketing and the vari-angle LCD monitor.
I do want to buy a Prime lens and chose to go with the Nikkor f/1.4, however, I cannot seem to find any information on the difference between these 3..
Nikon Ai AF Nikkor 50mm F1.4D
Nikon Ai Nikkor 50mm F1.4S
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.4G
links go to the store I am buying everything at, one of the most competitive in Japan.
(for those that can read Japanese)
I did read that autofocus is only available with AF-S and AF-I, However that is the only difference I could find.
In essence, what do the S, D and G stand for and what would your recommendation be?
Any help would be highly appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read !
