The D800E paired with a Zeiss 100mm f/2 is incredible! Rent the Zeiss and see for yourself. In fact, you can try out all kinds of lenses by renting them.
I highly suggest that every serious photographer set aside money to use toward camera and lens rentals. I have learned so much renting countless times over the years. Don't just rely on reviews, word-of-mouth, or anything else. See for yourself! Rent a lens or camera and design your own experiments based on your style of photography. You will discover many surprises along the way! And your opinion offerings will be truly informed.
