- The 35mm is full AF-S which means that you can adjust the focus manually just by touching the focus ring rather than having to mechanically uncouple the autofocus (on the 50mm f1.8)

Other lens do this in DMF mode. The difference is AF-S lens don't give you the option to turn it off.

Does the D90 support DMF mode?

I never heard of DMF mode before today. It seems to be a Sony speciality.

With non AF-S lenses you can turn the focus ring manually without switching the autofocus to M but Nikon doesn't recommend it (can't find the reference but I know I've read it somewhere).
