To add to what eglide said about an alligator chasing you at 35 mph, its important to not show fear.

Kayautho, Received the lens yesterday...WOW, what a great lens! Since you have this same lens, can you tell me there is anything I have to watch out for on the footage dial, just above the lens specifics, which changes when you are adjusting the focus? I guess I won't have to worry about this if I keep everything on auto focus. The colors with this lens are unbelievable!

No, I never paid any attention to that dial. It may have some uses, but I'm not aware of them.
Using this lens on a tripod with this lens produces unbelievably sharp images in post processing. I use Nikon NX2 for that.
You will need that lock on the left side otherwise the lens will creep down when carried lens down.
One thing that troubles me a little bit is that this is an fx lens and the d90 and d7000 are dx cameras. I would have thought a Nikkor 18-200 might have been more appropriate. When mounted on a dx camera you get exactly the same field of view with the 18-200 as the 28-300. Anyway, in this connection, I tried my 28-300 on my d300 which is also a dx camera and it seemed ok but your field of view may not be as convenient as with the 18-200. Why don't you check around, maybe call the rental or better yet, start a new thread here and see if it is a problem. You might consider a PM to captainC or nikonshooter - two very knowledgeable guys from this forum.
