Well, first of all, Israel in not in africa...
In addition, Hebrew is an Afro-Asiatic language, closely related to Arabic, Egyptian & other languages spoken in North Africa and completely unrelated to the Indo-European languages spoken across Europe. (Ok, apart from Turkey ).

All the English people are awfully quiet here
What is the first thing you do after England has won the European championship?
You turn off your playstation
But exactly how many times have Holland won? (Answer - only once)
How many times have Holland won the World Cup? (A - never)
How many times have Holland lost to the Germans in major competitions? (A - even more times than England have)
Not laughing now are we

As I said, the manual says "the clamp screw is to prevent the lens extending under its own weight when pointing down".

I can't say I've ever used it like that - like you, I use it to improve the feel of manual focussing

It's big and heavy, but reasonably sharp.
The problem I had with it was keeping it still - I never had a tripod heavy enough for the job.
If I were you, I would give it a miss...

Despite some trepidation on my part, it arrived safely in 3 or 4 days

Am I the only one with a D gathering dust then? Kept it to use as a second body, but it rarely does anything now. Like my K10D too much. Prefer the speed, feel, size, images...
I also prefer the way it renders skin tones for portraits, particularly for people with darker skin.
But as others have said, whenever I use it I'm struck by how SLOW it is!
My preferred choice of lenses is:
Zenitar 16
DA 21
FA 31
FA 77
Voigtlander SL 180
OR
DA* 16-50
F 70-210
