If you close a lens by one F stop the shutter speed adjusts by one increment in a linear fashion. Also, focus confirmation works up to f5.6 with the D700 without the need to chip the lenses. I have used leitax bayoneted Leica R lenses from 19mm, 28mm, 90mm, 100mm, 180mm, up to 400mm and they all work the same way. My 21 - 35 zoom is on its way to me now and I expect it will behave as others. Howard
