Q & A
“G” is a reference to a G-Type lens and is distinguishable from a standard D-Type lens by its lack of an aperture control ring. G-Type lenses relay distance information to compatible DSLRs like a D-Type lens but rely wholly on electronic aperture control through a camera body.
“AF-S” refers to Auto Focus that features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor or “SWM.”
“DX” refers to lenses designed for cameras with a crop sensor format and is an abbreviation for “digital short back.”
“Micro” is Nikon’s term for a lens designed specifically for macro photography.
