I ordered a AF Nikkor 28-80mm f/3.3 - 5.6G lens

Update:: Instructions 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G AF Zoom-Nikkor
This lens strangely appeals to me.It will be used mainly for stock photo's due its Sharpness and its affordability. I first read about it on Ken Rockwells Site. Interesting note on my D90 this lens becomes a become a 42-120mm lens.  Read here for the reason 

 Most digital camera sensors are smaller than film, so any image you see from those cameras is created from a smaller area than film.


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 28-80 mm f/3.3-5.6G AF Nikkor lens is designed for Nikon's range of 35mm and digital SLR camera bodies. This lens is a kit lens that comes packaged with the Nikon N80/F80, Nikon D100, and other kits.

This lens replaces the 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-D. Its designation as a "G" lens means it has no aperture ring and cannot be used in manual or aperture priority modes on older bodies such as the Nikon F90. They do work fully with these cameras in Shutter Priority or Program mode.
