Not clearly delineated as compared to Canon.
But you can probably look at the pricetag ( which is pretty telling ) and the fast lenses in general.
There is usually an equivalent pro Nikkor lens for each L Canon.
But you should probably get what you need instead.

If I'm not mistaken..... Nikon version of Canon's L lens would be the ED series..... but best for Nikon user to give you the correct answer.... :sweat:
Get those Lens which cost more than $1000, they shd be the ones you are looking for.
Else ask for Nikon Holy Trinity!!

In general, the "PRO" lenses for Nikon are constant f/2.8 or faster/wider.
Their consumer lenses are normally f/3.5 or slower/smaller.
The ED is also widely implemented it in their DX consumer zooms. The AFS 18-55mm kit lens has ED elements too

I think the ED elements is in alot of lens as well.... Even Canon have the ED elements... :bsmilie:
The gold ring is tricky. Used to be the high end lenses having ED are labelled the gold ring. Then ED is so commonly implemented, that now the gold ring is might denote better quality lenses.

Canon L lens
Not clearly define, but here is Full list of qualifying products for entry to the Nikon Professional User Scheme, so you know what lenses are classified as pro lenses

Hahaha.... since no one can agree on what Nikon L lens is..... just go for those which cost $1K and above :bsmilie:
IIRC, these lenses highlighted in RED is sub $1k
AF-DX 10.5MM F/2.8G
AF 16 F/2.8D
AF 18 F/2.8
AF 28 F/1.4D
AF 14 F/2.8
AF 24 F/2.8D
AF 20 F/2.8
AF 28 F/2.8D
AF 35 F/2D
AF 85 F/1.4
AF 85 F/1.8
AF DC 105 F/2
AF DC 135 F/2
AF 180 F/2.8
AF 60 F/2.8D
In that case... the 18-200mmVR was also considered as a L lens too... :bsmilie:
Thanks
quite a useful resource. will look at it in more detail.
I hope you bear with my ignorance but what does ED stand for and what is its significance..?
