Both lens are good lenses.
Depending on your camera one may work better than the other for you though.
D lenses have an APERTURE ring that allows you to set the aperture, G lenses can only set the aperture with the camera command dials.
D lenses are older where G lenses are newer lenses for the latest dslrs.

Both are very good. So is the 1.8 version for much less money.

The G will not work on cameras requiring a manual aperture ring. It will mount but there is no control.
Optically both are excellent. and will work just fine on your model of camera.
The D gives you the same Optical quality as the G. At a much lesser price. The D will work fine on the D 800. No point in buying the G.

Own both and they are both excellent.
I own the 85mm 1.4 G. It is a great portrait lens. Never used the D version.

James,
I have the older 85mm f1.4D IF and love it. Its one of the best portrait lens I ever use. The only lens better for portraits is my 135mm DC. The D is solid well made and super sharp.
With that said my buddy has the newer 85mm f1.4G. We agreed his lens focus faster and is a lot lighter. That's because it made from plastic. Rumor is the G is sharper but we can't tell the difference.
We are running D600, D800s & D4s.
Hope this helps

What about manual override of Auto Focus?
Is there a reason that you need the f1.4 rather than the f1.8? I understand that the f1.8 is an outstanding lens for a lot less money.
