I have both lenses you are considering and think you will find them very suitable on the D700. The tiny 20/3.5 (just picked up from Joseph Yao last week) performs about as well as my 19mm Elmarit V1 and is 1/4 the size if you look at them in terms of front elements. It has the advantage of having the Nikon Chip embedded in it so auto aperture can be used. Pictures with the 180 APO on the D700 are here: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/R+lenses+on+Nikon+D700/ Let's see more pictures!! Cheers Howard
