Lens to get for a nikon d800?
So I just upgraded from a d7000 to a d800, got rid of my dx lenses and only have 2 left. A nikon 50mm 1.8g and a tamron 28-75 2.8… I want a really nice sharp fast lens for the d800, was thinking of getting a nikon 24-70 2.8 but my tamron covers that range.
So how about getting a nikon 14-24 2.8 wide angle lens. And maybe some other lens in the future.
Would that be a good choice for a first high end lens?
I'd get this lens. You might have to add the item to your cart to see the actual price. You can always remove it later.

Awesome camera. So heavy though.
I'd go for the AF S 10-24, and maybe a telephoto prime like a 105mm, or maybe a zoom for more telephoto range. I know the 10-24 is a lower aperture lens, but it's also high quality, and significantly cheaper. I love having a good telephoto too.
Get a 50-200mm lens to round out your available shooting range. Your speed may not be as fast as you thought.
