Thanks Adam. Haven't looked at any AF-P or E lenses anyhow since Nikon updated the D90 firmware for some reason to work with these lenses, but not the (D300s), which is newer than the D90, nor the D3, D300, and D700.

LukaIt's not the E that's the issue (all FX bodies support E lenses, as support was introduced with the D3/D300), it's the AF-P support, which isn't present on the D3(s/x) or D700. The 70-300E is also AF-P.

IIRR, the new E version doesn't work with older cameras though, since they need updated firmware in order to work with the lenses, which no longer have the switches on them.akul wrote

One from couple weekends ago. 70-300VR, D700, cropped post capture as well. I noticed the VR just not working anymore about 3 months ago (tried cleaning contacts, moving switches, use on two bodies, etc), thinking that repair is not worth the cost with the current prices of a used 70-300VR or the Tammy. Anyone with a different experience?http://www.pbraymond.com/img/s6/v141/p2817679824-5.jpg

The D90 doesn't have AF-P support added as far as I can tell. The last update (1.00A/1.01B from 2014) added support for the new Lens Correction database v2.x (which does support the AF-P lenses) but the D90 still lacks E and AF-P support internally.
The D3/D300(s)/D700 support E but not AF-P. They didn't get support for the lens correction database as they don't have that feature.

Can I use an AF-P lens with my DSLR camera?
AF-P lenses use the latest Stepping Motor technology to move the lens focus quickly and quietly making this type of lens ideal for shooting movies as well as still images. "P" in the name AF-P is derived from the pulse which drives the motor. The ability to change focus settings in the camera menu, rather than the switches on the lens barrel, offers photographers a more intuitive way to shoot.
The first AF-P DX-format lens was introduced in January 2016. Lens buttons and controls previously located on the lens are now supported through the cameras menu options.
The first AF-P FX-format lens was introduced in July 2017, the difference with this lens format is that some of the AF-P lens options could be controlled on the lens and some via camera menus, so the limitations are different to AF-P DX-format lenses.
1. Cameras that are fully compatible cameras with AF-P lenses
D850, D500, D3400, D5600 and D7500.
The following cameras are also fully compatible with AF-P lenses when the firmware is updated to the following versions:
D5 (firmware C: Ver. 1.20 or later)
D750 (firmware C: Ver. 1.12 or later)
D610 (firmware C: Ver. 1.02 or later)
D600 (firmware C: Ver. 1.03 or later)
D5500 (firmware C: Ver. 1.01 or later)
D5300 (firmware C: Ver. 1.01 or later)
D3300 (firmware C: Ver. 1.01 or later)
Restriction for D5300 and D3300 only
As D5300 and D3300 firmware updates do not include the "Manual focus ring in AF mode" Custom Setting included with the D5500 firmware update, the focus ring can always be used for manual focus when the camera is in autofocus mode.
2. Cameras that are compatible with AF-P lenses (restrictions apply)
D4, D4S, D3, D3X, D3S, Df, D300, D300S, D700, D800, D800E, D810, D810A, D5200, D7000, D7100, D7200.
These restrictions apply only when the following lenses and cameras are matched:
AF-P DX-format lenses when used with D810A, D810, Df, D7200, D7100, D5200.
AF-P FX-format lenses when used with D4, D4S, D3, D3X, D3S, D810A, D810, D800, D800E, Df, D700, D7200, D7100, D7000, D5200, D300, D300S.
Cameras do not offer the "Manual focus ring in AF mode" Custom Setting for enabling/disabling focus ring operation in autofocus mode.
As the lens does not have a VR switch, its built-in vibration reduction function cannot be disabled. (AF-P lens for DX format)
If the standby timer is allowed to expire, the focus position will change when the timer is restarted, requiring refocusing. Focus is initialized (reset to infinity) when the standby timer is allowed to expire (camera enters sleep mode) and is then started (camera recovers from sleep mode) by pressing the shutter-release button halfway or operating a button. Specifying longer standby times is recommended for manual focus photography (remote photography, fixed photography using a tripod, interval timer photography, etc.) and in other situations in which the shutter may not be released immediately after focusing.
If the camera is turned on with the lens retracted, the camera will display a "Lens not attached" message, "F--", "△F", or other warnings. （AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR ,AF-P DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G )
Nikon 1 series with the FT-1 adapter is compatible with restrictions.
Other digital SLR or film SLR cameras do not support AF-P lenses.

Having tested the 10-20 AF-P on a D300 with the latest firmware, you get no focusing at all, but aperture control is present.
I've not tested with other options.
Nikon's AF-P matrix is notoriously inaccurate (and more so as of the February 27th updates). Much as I hate to recommend it, Ken Rockwell has a decent support matrix.

I think Nikon’s list and explanations suck regarding the afp compatibility. I find Thom Hogan’s explanation make sense to me.

I haven't been able to get out with my camera lately, so I thought I would look through some old images. Sitting inside with the "cabin fever" after getting over 2 feet of snow last weekend has me wishing for spring to get here 
These were taken with my Nikon Df / 85f1.4 AIS combo.

Thank you Luka for the kind comments! Yes, the 85/1.4 AIS may be the old dog, but it still can perform
Here are a couple more with that combination. Here's hoping for spring!

That, and I'm pretty set on lenses now 
I have no intention of buying new lenses to replace what I currently have, if I ever get a newer body.

Bummer on the cabin fever, but it will eventually warm up for you. Love the first shot with your Golden.
Spent my first two days on my new route walking in sunshine all day, temps in the 50-60 degree weather. Short sleeves, and I was good.
