If I am correct,

Di = lense with aperature ring, can be used for both film and digital camera.
Dii = strictly for digital camera.

Hi

Di lenses are lenses design for film and digital camera.

Dii lenses are lenses design for Digital camera with APS size sensor, thus they cannot be use on film camera or any digital camera with sensor larger than APS size

Hope it helps
