Sorry I'm not an expert, but you are talking about your Nikkor 105 on
600x400 CCD!? what is the size of your CCD? 1/2 inch or less? it just
use the very small center area of the lens and the pixel count is
extremely small. 

I think you better say Fuji S1-Pro also use normal Nikon lens without
many complain from the users.

How do you know the Video cameras are not having special designed
perpendicular lens? Okay even not, the pixel count is too small to
worry and the quality requirement of video just can't compare with
high res still pictures.
