As a soon to be new Mamiya user (actually still have and love my Mamiya 7) I'm trying find info on the lenses. First annoying beginner question: is there an optical difference between the MF 35/3.5 and the D 35/3.5. I see there is also an intermediate, non-D AF version as well. Am I correct in assuming they're all the same optically?
I see KEH has an EX MF 35/3.5 for $379. The regular AF looks to be common on ebay at roughly half the price of the new D. How is the AF in use on the AFDII body; do I set aperture on the lens or body? I'm strongly leaning towards the plain AF, would that be a mistake? The D looks not very common used, probably because it's too recent.
