“What is the difference between this special edition and the "regular" one? Other than price obviously, and is it worth the price difference?”

• The reason nikon gave that vague answer was because mechanically there is no difference. Both are identical optically. The only difference is in the cosmetics; the added retroness feel to it, matching the DF style. If you want to spend the extra moneys just to get the retro hipster look as you take pictures then the "special-edition" is for you!

  I would recommend:

• While the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition lens was designed to match the classic style of the Nikon Df, it is a completely modern lens that offers the same amazing performance as the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 lens. This super-fast, stylish lens is lightweight and ideal for travel and everyday use.
