I\'m no pro but when I spent a week in Spain visiting a crazy fireworks festival (Las Fallas) and one lens that was mounted on my camera all the time was my Tamron 17-50/2,8.
It\'s versatile enough for both portraits and some buildings so I would go for some normal zoom.
The 17-50/2,8 might not be the best alternative for you since you\'re getting a D700 but check out the Sigma 24-70/2,8 or Tamron 28-75/2,8 or if you have money to spend, a Nikon 24-70/2,8.
