Here's what I concluded today...
None of the numerous lens in the market are developed for one particular camera model and there will be a transition time to get accustomed to. In short, you learn to accommodate the lens you bought with your Nikon D90 body and not expect it to work out-of-the-box. They usually don't. I discovered that fact while shooting with both the Nikkor 50mm F/1.8D and 70-300mm G lens. They are kinda developed to perform only within a fixed boundary.
While reading about the Nikon D700, it also specifically indicate a built-in database capable of storing up to 40 lens characteristics. This, in fact, is causing me to wonder how each lens characteristics are recognized and exploited on the Nikon D90?
