>>259268 There is nothing more useful in photography than a prime of moderate focal length (say, ~35-50mm equivalent.)
OP is being awesome, though personally I'd go for a D300 over a D700 and a wider normal (28mm, for delicious "perfect normal") over what would be a "fifty" on that.
>>259279 I'd actually tell him to get the 50/1.2 you have. IMO, bokeh on all the Nikkor fifties ranges across situations from neutral to distracting except that one, which is in every way a fuckawesome lens, as I'm sure you know and would agree.
But if he wants AF, the f/1.8 should be fine. Save him some money, too, which if he's getting a D700 is probably a good thing.
>>259301 /P/ fell in love with a fat sow of a lens because it's optimized for really large apertures, because /p/ loves really shallow depth of field, unless it comes from Heavyweather (who actually tends to use it well) for some reason.
