Me too, I bought the 16-35 and I'm mostly happy about it (I wouldn't mind if it had been a bit shorter and the distortion at the wide and could be a bit less, but apart from these minor quibbles - a smaller lens doesn't make the D700 smaller and the distortion is just one click in Lightroom), it's a great lens. The VR comes in handy sometimes...
