I really really want to get the D700, but the lack of a lightweight zoom is putting 2nd thoughts in my head.
The Tamron 28-75 is a sharp and cheap (around 300 Euro) Zoom that almost reaches the optical quality of the NIkon 24-70 at half the weight and a fifth of the price. The AF should be quick on the new Nikons.
Drawbacks:
- not as robust
- no AF-S
- Sample variation may result in misaligned sample, can send in to Tamron or snd back and buy another one

Not only the Tamron 28-75 but some older Nikkor like 17-35 and 35-70's gonna have a new life on FF DSLR
Don't know if they'll get new life or not but I do know that 2nd hand 17-35/2.8 and 35-70/2.8 have gone up in price and have kind of disappeared from the used market lately...

True... I'm looking for a used 17-35mm in Japan and it's being a pretty hard work... I found 28-70 AF-S pretty good but pretty pricey... maybe I'm looking in the wrong place
