Give them a call. I'm sure their answers are more accurate than us posting here.

I am not sure...but I guess it won't be far....if you are desperate then no need to hesitate liao because the time wasted probably worth more than the few $ diff in other shop

But I suggest you call to confirm before you rush down...see my experience here

D version has a chip inside to help calculate the distance, thus better exposure.

$175 is cheap and does it comes with 1yr Nikon warranty? Where is Lords? do you have the full address?

I certainly value it for the f/1.8, can be used in low light situations.

Every shooter should get one. Cheap, small, light, fast (aperture wise), versatile (add a reversal ring and presto! macro! ). What more can you ask?
