Do you have or are you planning to buy a Nikon flash? (SB-26,27 or 28) If
you are you might want to consider a "D" lens. Having said that, I have 6
or 7 AF Nikkors that I use on my F90X, F601 or FE with my SB-26, and none
of them are "D" and I don't worry about it.

This has been debated at great length over the years, and if you are really
curious check out the archives there will probably be lots of posts. I
think the general concensus is that if you REALLY don't need the extra
speed, the 1.8 is the way to go. It's smaller, lighter, sharper
(subjective) and much cheaper.
BTW, I have the Nikkor 50mm/1.8 (non D) lens that you were asking about and
I'm very happy with it. I bought it from another list member whom I know
personally.

Nope, you did nothing wrong. This is one list that the individual posts are
not an option. Personally, I like it this way, although it is more
difficult to keep current on the threads. This is one reason that I always
cc. the person as you may have noticed.
