OK, I read too fast.

Both are FX lenses, so they will perfectly match your D700. Though, they are known for being relatively bad optically speaking.

I've never used them, so I can't say more. But I can tell you that the D700 does very well with the F/1,8 primes from Nikon (35 F/1,8, 50 F/1,8, 85 F/1,8).

:)) first i  order the 50mm F1.8D and Then 50mm F1.8G . The D new and the G used. both almost the same price.When the D  arrive i will sell it straight away and keep the G version. I read that the G version is better optically so i will keep this version to use both in fuji and nikon. I am not willing to spend in primes for nikon as i have quality primes with my olympus gear. Another one thought in my mind is if i dont keep the nikon i can sell it and sell the tamron 17-50 and its place i will buy the nikkon 17-55 f2.8 they say is better optically and fuji needs good lens. but with tamron i am very very happy.

Another one though is the fuji mirroless. it seems that a lot of people they start to buy it. The high iso performance is similar to last generation full frames and they have beautiful colors and  easy to carry body. but to make a step to fuji i have to change entire system selling my olympus gear. because only if i have to sell my olympus gear i can afford buy fuji and some lens. And i am afraid at the moment to do this because all the systems have negative and positive.
