I have just ordered this lens to be my primary portrait lens for my D700! I have looked for tests made on a FF Nikon, but have not found any. Can any of you help me with your own experience on a FF with this lens? It got such an outstanding review here, but made on a D200, and I am wondering if it is just as good on FF. If it is, it is one of Nikons best deals, because the price is very attractive.

I have the lens and use it on D200
It is indeed an excellent optic, good value, excellent bokeh
The only downsides are low contrast and blue/purple fringing at, and close to, full aperture when shooting something against the sky, for example - to the extent that I always avoid the max opening.
Close-down one stop and all is well
FX will be no better, of course
