A poor choice of heading for sure, but read the ACTUAL NIKON LENS DESIGNATIONS to see what is fact.
AF-D in DXO's header simply states that the comparison presented covers Nikons AF lenses that contain the "D" communication chip in them. The "D" has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM. Plain and simple.

I posted this picture the other day. How would Photography Life explain an AF-s lens that also has the "D" distance chip?
People, including well know authors, refer to VR 2 which also doesn't exist. If you go to the Nikon site they have a section that clearly explains the designations. They are the source, that too many folks ignore because it is easier to regurgitate something somebody else wrote.

I give up. You come up with a pic of ANY Nikkor lens that says "AF-D" and I will concede. Since there is no such lens you will keep coming up with idiot blogger posts from the internet that show nothing but the rampant idiocy of these bloggers. I think Nikon knows more about their products than all of these idiots combined, after all, NIKON makes the lenses not the idiot bloggers. Have a good night!

Thats only one. I also have an AF-S 80-200MM F2.8D and a AF-S 28-70MM F2.8D. But these AF-D proponents will never post a pic of such a lens as they just will not accept the fact that there is no such thing.

You give up because there is no way for you to prove your pointless point!

I can add an AF-S 300mm F/4.0D and AF-S 500mm F/4.0D . There are quite a few of them out there.

It was common to see the "D" chip designation AFTER the aperture data on the lens with the advent of AF-I & AF-S lenses. Eventually it was dropped because all lenses offered the D chip so it was pretty much redundant lettering.

I consider that position a place holder on the lenses. The D was followed by the G which was unrelated to the distance chip. The G was replaced with a II which indicated the second iteration of the lens. Nikon never put VR II on anything as far as I know. Then came "E" for the electronic aperture. Not sure if that was replaced by a "P".
And the beat goes on.

Some members have been around here to help if we feel a need to!
IF THIS IS THE PARAGRAPH TO WHICH YOU ARE REFERRING:
"There are a couple of ways to signify a "D" lens: Nikon usually marks its lenses as "50mm f/1.4D AF" as opposed to "50mm f/1.4 AF-D," but it all means the same thing."
YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT KEN STONEGOOD ALSO SAYS THAT P MODE IS THE SAME THING AS PROFESSIONAL MODE.
Oh, BTW, D5, 5D; It all means the same thing......

I currently own a Nikon D5300. I am considering upgrading to a D7200 or D7500. My question is will my current lenses (Tamron 18-400 and Tamron 10-20 wide angle) fit on the new Nikon Z line. I also have the kit Nikkor lenses with my D5300.
Thanks!
Thanks!
You will need to purchase the Nikon F mount to new S series lens adapter in order to fit your current lenses to the new Z6/Z7 cameras. Purchasing it together with a Z6/Z7 will cut the cost of the adapter by about $100, I believe. My advice is to take a look at the projected S series lenses through to the middle of 2020 before choosing either Z camera. If the lens projected lens line up suits you that's fine. If not, go for the D7200 or D7500. Personally, I would go for a really good second hand D500.

Nikon has an AF/AE adaptor for F mount lenses released with the new line. There’s a good article/ad at B & H photo.
