p.1 #1 · 85mm f1.8 Non-D v/s D version

Hey guys, is there any optical difference between this two?
I was a happy owner of the 85mm f1.8 AF Non-D versión of this Lens. Sold it a couple of days ago and i´m all ready missing it.

Now I´m thinking in buying the D version from B&H, but will it give me better IQ than the non-D version?

No optical differences between versions. The only difference is that the D has a slide-lock for the aperture ring, and the non-d has a push and turn button lock for the aperture ring.

No optical difference. Just introduces the distance feature and that's about all. And the aperture lock.

No difference. My 85/1.8 AF is zippy enough for me, and I'm sure it was the same speed for you.
