Nikkor 50mm 1.8 "E" or "D" serie

[stevco]

I'm about to buy some fixed 50mm lens for Nikon FM-2 analog camera. So i got this two lens for buying :

Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 "E" (40-50 euro)
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 "D" (50 euro)
(The autofocus wouldn't work on the film camera)

And also there are Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 E serie too. Both lens form E serie for 80 euro.

Here are some my opinions:

the E serie: the lens looks OK on the pictures, it's manual lens, as I see there are not many lens with the "E" serie and i don't know much about that serie, but as i read it seams to be OK lens.
Here's a nice review for the 28/50mm E serie http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography...s/283550mm.htm

About 50mm f/1.8 D serie. I haven't picture from the lens yet, but the seller told me that's it's OK. New lens in Macedonia are for 140 euro (with little usage is about 50-100 euro). It has aperture ring, it is almost plastic which i dont' like much.

Since 50mm f/1.4 is pretty expensive and hard to find some second hand lens on cheap price i'm about to buy some 1.8.

What do you recommend? Have you used these lens? Suggestions?
thank you.

I have the 50mm f1.8D. You can certainly focus manually with it but I find the autofocus ring is too light (as with most AF lenses). I believe that the optical formula of the 50mm f1.8 E and the 50mm f1.8 D is very similar.

I have a an AF (not D) version of the 28mm f2.8. I believe this has the same simplified optical formula as the E lens. I was very happy with it with film and on a 6Mpix DSLR but the resolution was not enough for a 10Mpix DSLR and I don't use it any more.

If you think one day you will get an autofocus camera then go for the AF version of the lenses. If that's not a concern then I think the E series would be good enough. The prices that you mention look OK - if you were in France..
