What Lens is on Your D800 Right Now?

If only the 24-70 /2.8 had VR, it would be on my D800 most of the time. Don't understand why Nikon doesn't introduce an "improved" version with it.
Since it doesn't, the 24-120 /4 is.
I wish the 24-70 had a lot less distortion, but I can correct that in post, and both are capable of essentially the same IQ, as best as I can discern. The fact the 24-120 is shorter and lighter doesn't hurt the equation either. The 24-70 produces better bokeh, but with the D800's high image quality at relatively high ISO's, I can compensate for the stop of light loss and speed with VR and a higher ISO for the few situations I could use f/2.8.
