Hm can you briefly explain why you want to use a 24-70 on Aps-C?
Nikon has a very nice 16-85 which will cover 90% of your shooting and give you more wide angle coverage than your current lens. For low light /shallow dof you have the 35mm 1.8.
A 24-70 will be big and heavy and due to its narrow zoom range a lot less flexible than your 18-105 or the 16-85. A 24-70 makes only sense on Aps-C if you absolutly positively need f/2.8 in a zoom. ( But then also condsider Nikons 17-55 unless you want to go full frame soon).
As far as real low light work and shallow dof goes your 35mm or a 50mm or 85mm fix focal length f/1.8 is usally much more useful than a 24-70 f/2.8 zoom.
Dont be fooled into believing that a 24-70 will get you (visibly!) higher image quality on Aps-c. It wont. It will only vignett less than a dedicated aps-c lens. Anything else will hardly be visible in practice.
