~~ Nikon 50mm f1.8D AF Nikkor lens ~~ VS ~~ Nikon 50mm f1.8G AF-S Nikkor lens ~~
What is the difference between these two lenses? I know the AF stands for autofocus.. but what on earth does nikkor mean? and what is the difference between the "D" and the "G" after the aperture... also whats the additional "S" for?
Answer
Nikon: Brand (obviously)
Nikkor: Nikon's lenses. For lenses, I use nikkor/nikon interchangeably
50mm: focal length of lens
D: Has aperture ring
G: does not have aperture ring
AF: autofocus (camera body needs autofocus motor to have autofocus)
AF-S: autofocus AND the lens has the autofocus built in, therefore the camera body does not need an autofocus motor to autofocus
D lenses are older lenses and are almost always AF
G lenses are newer lenses and are almost always AF-S
if you want autofocus on entry level cameras, you must use G lenses.
if you want autofocus on anything above entry level, you can use either D or G lenses without a problem

Nikon SLR Camera Users - Lens question AF Vs.DX?
Super
Can someone tell me if the Nikon AF Nikkor 80-200mm 1:45-5.6D lens be used on the Nikon D70s? Can I use all features D70s? I know it can do "auto focus". How about all different modes of the D70s, D300? What are the limitions when using AF, or ED lens on D70s; or D300? What exactly the difference between the AF lens and DX lens? And also, a Nikon ED AF Nikkor 80-200mm 1:2.8D zoom lens can work on D70s as digital lens? What are the limitions for the AF, or ED lens on D70s, or D300? Any professional advices will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Answer
1) Yes, the Nikon AF 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6D lens can be used without any limitations on the D70s, D300, D200, D100, D80, D70, and D50. On the D40 and D40x, it will mount and meter, but will only manually focus.
2) ED means "extra-low dispersion". It *does not* refer to a lens coating (Fhotoace is wrong), but instead refers to a special kind of glass (low dispersion) used in 1 or more elements in the lens.
3) AF lens mean simply an autofocus lens. DX refers to a lens that can only be used effectively on an SLR with the DX-sized sensor (smaller than 35mm film frame sensor). Non-DX lenses can be used on film cameras and all Nikon digital SLRs. Nikon calls a 35mm-sized digital sensor "FX" and an APS-sized sensor "DX" (APS was a type of film with a frame smaller than a 35mm frame). The D70s and D300 can use pretty much any AF lens, including DX lenses.
4) An ED lens is a higher quality lens than a non-ED lens and it just means it has that special element(s) in it. It has nothing to do with autofocusing.
5) The Nikon AF 80-200mm f/2.8D lens can work on the D70s just fine, as well as on a film camera. A possible limitation of this lens on some cameras may be some back-focusing at 200mm at close-focusing distances. The work around is to switch to manual focusing. The limitation is buried in Nikon lens compatibility charts, where the lens is incorrectly referred to as an 80-200mm f2.8S lens.
