I "think" that no autofocus is okay, assuming that focusing a MF lens in a DSLR viewfinder works "okay". I would need metering, and wife/daughter certainly would. I think that rules out the D40, D90, etc?

If the D700 price fell soon, that would be interesting. What's a good all-around lens for the full frame Nikons? I think the ones mentioned so far are for the DX Nikons?
