Nikon full frame photography is just awesome because you can buy up well made lenses from the film days at a fraction of the price of the latest lenses and kit yourself out with some amazing optics with no focal length change. The only criticism I have of the D700 is that if you shoot in all weathers and environments, as I do, and you are forever changing lenses the chances are the built in sensor cleaning system is not going to be enough to maintain a clean low pass filter. In fact I find my D700 needs cleaning all the time, with the larger sensor it is a dust magnet! Using the in camera sensor clean does nothing. If you never shoot beyond f11 it isn't a problem at all though. Love the Live View function for my architectural work even though it zaps battery very fast. Overall though it is just amazing!

If you go full frame then the 14-24mm would be a true 14mm at the wide end. Now that would be some perspective! I have a 12-24mm DX lens that I use on my Nikon D60 and I have a post coming up on using that for street photography. I'll let you know when it appears. I see you are a fan of wide-angle lenses.

Not that it would be that bad of a thing to do. It's just the act of getting a 14-24mm would end up costing a pretty penny even after selling the 10-20 sigma. That said I see a D700, or whatever replaces it, in my future. It's exciting to see the technology in these camera's advance.
