[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 126159, member: 13076"] Most of my work with film long ago was with a 50 mm f2 or 28 mm f 2.8 or 135 f2.8 (that is to say industrial photography). The bulk of my nature photography was split 50/50 between the 50 mm and a 100-300 f5.6 zoom with macro capability. Those were my two workhorses. Now I find myself trying to find a new lens groove with this D800 because unlike the D7000 where I could just play with inexpensive zooms, I have to think more carefully about how I will approach particular subjects. Apart from a 100-300 Ai-S zoom I have coming soon, I just plan to get primes for my D800 (have the 180 2.8 Ai-S also coming soon, so the 85 1.4G is next). I look forward to testing different lenses both old and new with this camera (have my eye on the 105 f1.8 Ai-S and 28 f2.8 Ai-S as well, and someday when I can afford it, the 24 f1.4G, 200 f/2 and 300 f/2....although the 300 is just dreaming).
