I believe the D780 does focus shift also.
BTW, I traded this lens in for the VR model when I upgraded to the D850, specifically out of lust for the focus shift feature, which I use quite a bit. Except for the focus shift-less-ness, I found it to be a superb macro lens.
As someone who has owned this lens, can you confirm whether the M-A ring decouples the shaft inside or merely applies more pressure for manual focus? I believe that the OP found a buyer. This is something important to know, and it seems impossible to find an owners manual online. The coupling can always be disabled on the camera.
