Hi all,
I pulled the trigger and decided to buy a D800 a bit earlier than I originally expected, but since they seem more affordable in Switzerland than anywhere else (2640 chf), I didn't want to wait and take the risk of a price rise like in the UK.
I'd like to have opinions regarding the following lenses on a D800. I realize the sensor will be quite demanding given it has the same density as a D7000 while being FF, therefore prone to corner issues.
- Nikkor 24-85 f/2.8-4: is it worth something on the D800? From the review here it looks excellent on the D200. Granted the test won't be very representative as it was APS-C and 10mp only.
- Nikkor 20mm f/2.8: seems like a good compact UWA, even on the D800
- Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8: they are many versions of this lens. How do they fare and differ optically? Anything I should be aware of? I read the pull/push versions are slow as dog to AF, but coming from Pentax I don't think it would be much of a problem. Speed is not very important, but I want very accurate AF though. I'd shoot it mostly wide-open.
- Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS HSM: the latest and more expensive Sigma version of this lens. Anyone has tested it, at least on a D3X? How is it wide-open, especially at 200mm?
- Tokina 80-200 f/2.8: any good? Being and old 3rd party design, I suppose it's outclassed by the recent Sigma, but I might be wrong.
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
