Nikkor 50mm question

Postby glennles on Fri Sep 28, 2007 11:52 am

I've managed to score a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 for $50 from another forum but it is a non D model. I've had a look around and all I can find is that the non D model doesn't transmit distance information.

I was just wondering if this will affect anything?

I'm using a d70s if that's relevent.

Cheers,

Glenn

For 99% of photography, D or non D doesn't make much difference.

If you are taking a flash shot into a mirror it may have an impact.
