Not sure why so many people get so torqued off over the terminology around these lenses. I've not found anyone that doesn't understand exactly what is being discussed when a "D" lens is mentioned, whether it matches Nikon's official terminology or not. The simple truth is that since Nikkor lenses tend to be labelled differently on the top and bottom, the lenses themselves create the confusion.
As long as we understand each other that's all it counts.
