[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 204319, member: 9240"] I had the 28-300 for a while and sold it because I thought I no longer "needed" it with all my other lenses. Kind of sorry I did, because it's a perfectwalking around on vacation lens. It's really closer to a 28-280mm, and is a little soft at the tips and wide open, but not so soft that it ever felt like it wasn't usable. At a Scott Kelby presentation he mentioned that when he goes on family vacations the only thing he takes are a D600 and the 28-300mm. I shot with it and an 18-105mm when I went to Yosemite on my D7000 and D90 (what I had at the time). They both worked extremely well. On a D800 I think it would be a great vacation lens and have had my eyes open for another at a good price. For me, it's a one trick pony - a vacation/walkaround lens. If I have the luxury to carry a small bag then the 16-35mm, 24-85mm and 70-200mm f4 are what I take. But if I were more concerned with space and being able to enjoy family time while capturing great images then the D800 & 28-300mm would be perfect. [/QUOTE]
