Just like the 50mm f/1.8G has more distortion and poorer build than the 50mm f/1.8D
it's a scam to force you to pay more for G lenses that actually have poorer optics
shot with the 50mm f/1.8G you just mentioned. it's a fairly cheap, no-frills $200 lens, and i can get wallhangers pretty consistently with it. i'm all for that last round of "cheap" f/1.8G set of refreshes nikon just did.
Yeah, I'm not denying that the f/1.8G is a great lens for $200. It's just that the f/1.8D is an even better lens, and it only costs $100. In practice the distortion on the f/1.8G doesn't actually matter: you'll never notice it on portraits, landscapes or animals. You'll only see it if you're going out of your way to get straight lines near the edges of the frame, and even then it's easy to correct by applying the lens profile. But it still annoys me that it's twice as expensive as the f/1.8D, has more distortion, has a plastic barrel (rather than metal), it's heavier, and you can't use it with manual cameras.
