Ok was hanging out in the back yard enjoying this nice weather with freddy my 10 month old pup... Took some Photos freddy loves to pose for the camera lol.
i don't remember making a broad statement like saying D or G were qualifiers for needing a focus motor. I was referring to the lens in question, the 50mm f1.8D needs a camera with built in lens motor.
not to get side tracked.... if you have any more questions sunken, post up a new thread in the aquatic photography area.
Here's a quicky from Las Vegas last weekend, just testing out the dynamic range of the camera. Taken with contrast and saturation all the way down and re-added in post.
the 50mm f1.8D is an ok lens. Plastic fantastic or whatever you wanna call it. The only problem I can think of is, that it requires a camera with focus motor. So unless your camera has one, or if you wanna manual focus. I'd stick to the 35mm f1.8 [G] or the 50mm f1.8 [G].
D and G are not the qualifiers of needing a focus motor. Some cameras (i.e. Nikon 3100) require AF-S lenses versus standard AF lenses. From looking at the Nikon chart, it seems that the D lenses are all AF types whereas the G lenses maybe AF or AF-S (i.e. Nikon 10.5 FishEye is AF but a G lens)

35mm f1.8G beats the 50mm f1.8D hands down in almost every spec minus price. 50mm f1.8G is a different story. I recommend either the 35mmG or the 50mmG. Both around $200
