Actually I love my 50mm 1.4 D so much that when I damaged it in the field I had it serviced for $115. I bought it originally for $250! I love it so much that I didn't want another one. I have grown so attached to this one sample and I use it constantly for all sorts of projects and even personal stuff.

I would have to go with the 50mm 1.4G or the 24mm 1.4g on FX. those are my two favorite focal lengths on my 24-70 2.8
If it was DX i would have to go with the d90's kit lens. For some reason that lens just achieved so much for me. I had no problems with it and i got most of my favorite pictures shooting with that lens.

Interestingly I asked that question of a friend who shoots a lot of different venues with the latest pro cameras (currently the D3s). His response was the 24-70/f2.8
Given that I will be ordering one with a D700 either Friday or Monday.

Welcome to the forum, JP. What a perfect combination! Are you upgrading from something or is this your starter kit? If it's your starter kit, let me know how to get into whatever industry you're working in. ;-)

It is an upgrade from a D70s that is four years old. That one replaced an old N6006 that replaced an older Canon AE1.
I have several DX lenses, plus an 80-400 and various older lenses from the N6006. I am switching to the D700 because of its low light capability for the most part. Want something that can take better pictures of my son doing ballet where no flash is ever allowed.
And bonuses were particularly good this year :-D
