Are you referring to the old Nikon 35mm f/2 AF-D as the non-motorized alternative?

If so, because it costs more & the one I got gets better reviews. For example, Ken Rockwell says, "For DX, the $199 35/1.8G is so good I'd not wish the clunky mechanical focus of the 35/2 on you if you're shooting DX and could use the 35/1.8G."
