What is the difference between Nikon F and G mount?

While the G lenses are the still the same physical F mount, the G indicator means there is no aperture dial on the lens itself. So while the G lenses will physically fit the standard F mount cameras and adapters, there is no way at all to change the f-stop on the lens..

Which is better AF-S or AF P?

AF-P lenses use a “Pulse” motor or “Stepping” autofocus motor and are even quieter and smoother to autofocus than an AF-S lens, making these lenses ideal when shooting video with a DSLR. The DSLR camera bodies that do feature a focus motor can utilize AF and AF-S lenses.

What does AF-P stand for?

The AF-P designation means that a lens uses a pulse motor, hence the “P.” The pulse motor relies on stepping motors to move elements inside the lens to achieve focus. This is in contrast to AF-S lenses, which use Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and rely on rotational energy to focus a lens’s optics.

What is the difference between VR and ED lens?

In theory they are the same. The only difference is the VR lenses are for better clarity in pictures. Kind of like an HD tv and a 4K tv.

What is the difference between an AF lens and an AF-S lens?

What does AF-S and AF-P mean?

AF-S is universal, as it refers to the silent wave focusing system, and should work with all autofocus capable cameras. AF-P requires a camera which provides camera body powered focusing, which is only in the higher end Nikons, like the D7100/D7200.

Are VR lenses worth it?

Yes. It works and it works great when it is needed. Typically you will only find VR or image stabilization as an available option on zoom or macro models. The reason why is simply most fixed focal length prime lenses has a wide enough aperture (1.8, 1.4, 1.2), that VR or image stabilization wouldn’t be needed.

Does VR affect image quality? VR doesn’t reduce the image sharpness, it just reduces the effect of very high shutter speeds. An image with VR at 1/500s will have the same sharpness as an image at 1/4000s with VR, but an image at 1/4000s without VR will be sharper (slightly, and the shutter speeds are just exampes).
