All full frame lenses can be used with the D700. All. If you were to change your tamron would have to go go. And the 16-85mm too if im not wrong, im not sure if it's a DX lens. Your 70-300 and 2 primes would be fine.

As long as the nikon lens got the wording DX, must go. 16-85, tam 17-50 has to go. If u wanna use DX lenses on full frame, they will be some adjustments on the camera i believe.

All lens can use lah.
When DX is mounted only the centre potion is used so you get a approx 5mp image instead of a 12 mp ones.

Taken from KRW.
DX lenses work on the D700, but who cares? THe D700 is only a 5MP camera with a DX lens, because it only uses the middle of the sensor. It's silly to use DX lenses on the D700; even the D40 has more resolotion (6MP) with DX lenses than either the D700 or D3.

Buy full frame, use full frame lenses la.

50/1.8 under 200. 35/2 under 500. 80-200 2 touch is about 1.4K. There are still a lot of quality FF lenses out there that are not that expensive.

You have to ask yourself how much you really want or need full frame. If youre happy with the D300 then I dont see any reason upgrading.

If you are serious, then sell away non full frame lense and invest on the "three Musketeers"
14-24mm F2.8 24-70mm F2.8 70-200mm F2.8. These are my dream Pro lens combination. At the moment, I am trying very hard to resist the temptation as I know my wife will never let me off if she knows that I have such "evil thouhts"
