You don't have to buy the expensive G models you know. 24mm F2.8, 35mm F2.0 and 85mm F1.8 together cost less than the 35mm F1.4G. When you have the D700 you just shoot at ISO6400 and it is just about as noisy as the D300 at 1600. I did some test shots at ISO12800 and I think it is still usable, at least for B&W.

Most user reviews seem to think the 24mm F1.4G is great (other than some reports of AF problems), 35mm F1.4G is soft till F2.8 and the new 85mm F1.4G is better than the D model at some things and worse at others.
