'G' lens for Nikon .. [I posted d80 info kit offer]

Okay I went through page after page and called several places today and this has sounded like the best deal. I asked several times about the type of lens because it seemed almost too good. This is the package I found most interesting but want to know about the G lens listed. Is anyone familar with it? It appears to me like it may be an older model of lens. The person on the phone didn't go into any detail about it.

This is what the additional info read on the G lens..

" A key design element considered that the newest Nikon SLR models have built-in aperture control (via the Command Dial), and therefore do not require that the lens have an aperture control ring. With this point in mind, the G lenses omit the aperture ring, resulting a llighter and more compact lens."


I asked in a couple different ways about the different ways the other lens read - AFS ED-IF, or ED IF VR [I read several off the list on the ad page]in Popular Photography Oct Issue. BTW in that ad it did not list any letters after the 70 -300 and I think just AFS on the 18 - 135 mm. It could be because teh page listing was very small...but anyway...what do you think? Would it be worth my time to buy a newer lens model with the aperture ring?

Thanks again!
