It is lens optimized for full frame camera, so, it will work well.

How well would my AF-S Zoom-NIKKOR 28-70mm f/2.8D IF-ED Lens work with the D700 body?

yeah I got what you mean. I am in almost the same situation like u. I own 24-70mm but I prefer taking 16-35mm VR nowadays.

Depending what kind of images you want to make, lack of VR in 24-70mm may be not a problem, for example for portraits or candid.

However, if you demand a tack sharp image edge to edge for landscape or still life photography, you might want the new Nikon lens, 24-120mm f/4 VR lens. ( I assume your 24-120mm is the older f/3.5-5.6 one).

Hi Enche,
I’m contemplating the 24-70 but I’m curious as to why this lens does not come with VR? My kit includes the 16-35 which I love and the new 70-300 VR which is surprisingly sharp for this relatively low cost lens. My workhorse lens is the 24-120 and I’m just not happy with it. Even at F22 in good light on a tripod, the image is seldom sharp from corner to corner. As a working pro, probably time for me to step up. but i have gotten used to VR and wondering about handholding the 24-70 without it. Thanks!

Price won’t lie, the Nikon 14-28mm f/2.8 is far superior in sharpness edge to edge and consistent throughout focal length and aperture, while Sigma 12-26mm is nice value for money. You decide!

you’re welcome!
