[QUOTE="wrboyle, post: 213699, member: 17594"] Hi Everyone, I just picked up a D800 and a couple of lenses (the 50 and 85 1.8s) and probably going to pick up the Sigma 150 2.8 Macro in the near future. I'm looking for a general use zoom, something in a standard-like range, though I'm happy to entertain others. I'm looking for something to use at the lake or the beach, so a little rain and splash can't be too big of an issue. I know no lens is perfectly sealed, but I want to avoid the more fragile ones if I can. I'm not looking for perfect image quality, I want something that will be versatile and functional. I'll have primes for when I want perfection, this is more about capturing the moment and not worrying about changing lenses, etc. I've read lots of mixed reviews on the 24-120, 28-300 and the 24-85; the Tamron 24-70 2.8 is supposed to be nice and sharp, but I'd rather have a little more reach if I can help it. Thanks for the suggestions and advice! Regards, -W [/QUOTE]
