Is there any difference between these lenses? I was able to pull a 50mm lens off a Nikon 35mm camera to use on my D80, and was wondering if there was any difference that was worth noting in the D series.

Anybody compare the two?

I think the D lens has something to do with electronic range finding.

Optical construction and design is the same.

distance information is passed back to the camera for flash use

Is that the only change is the info for the flash? (obviously something useful to have if you use on-camera TTL flash).

hmmmm...
so it seems definitely not worth buying a D series. Probably will save my money for the f/1.4
