Has anyone taken any shot using a similar 'D' and non-'D' lens and notice any difference?
Please share your experience and knowledge.

Astin said:AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G
This is AFS, this is non-D.
AF Zoom-Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF
This is non-AFS, this is D.
Definitely 1 of them is upper class and the other is lower class. At least thats what I think.
gooseberry said:Actually, that AF-S G type lens is also a D (G type lens is the same as a D type lens (transmits distance information to the camera body) - except the G type lacks the aperture ring - aperture has to be set on the body)
Thank you all BUT the question is what is the difference between the pictures taken by 'D' and non-'D'?espn said:The D is more of the distance chip within the CPU that helps the flash to calculate the distance you're focusing at if I'm not wrong, it doesn't mean difference in quality. ED is the glass I think you're referring to? ED and non ED lenses?

I do understand the difference between the two types i.e. chip but has not come across anyone taking about its output which is the end result of all our money put into it.
ESPN, thanks .. wasn't refering to ED and non ED (which I think can clearly see the difference in the photos taken).
Have I opened a pandora box?

Helloooo ... was trying to determine the picture quality between both 'D' and non-'D'. Reason is that I noticed some people insist on buying 'D' lens whereas some reviewer said its no different on the final result.swimcraze said:hey o pal Jay,
so which non-D lens are you eyeing now????
cheers!
I have the same approach too except that I'll buy the lens regardless of D or non-D as long as it delivers. Half of my lens inventory are likewise D and non-D.justarius said:I can't really do a direct comparison as I don't own repeating lenses with one D and one non D, but half of my primes are D, half are non D, metering with either is equally good with no loss in picture quality.
If I need a certain lens but can only find a non-D version, it wouldn't stop me from buying the lens, for afterall, optical quality is the same.

No ... not eyeing any non-D lens but rather thinking hard about the 17-35 AFS.
You back??!
Thanks for the URL and Clive for a straight one-liner. The forum sure does mentioned that its effective for flash photography. However he too found no difference between the output of the D and non-D .. confirmed my own suspicion. Can save some money buying good non-D hence.NashVillian said:
