[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 216409, member: 11653"] A lot depends on how you view them now, and how you will view them in ten years. I work with my files on duel 30" 2.5K by 1.9K pixel LCDs, I zoom in and out when processing. There is a big difference between cheap zooms, good zooms and primes. I will be getting a 4K monitor this year and probably a 4K TV (which will I show photos) and my partner and I share photos on our iPads (Also about 2.5K by 1.9K)... and it matters in this environment. If you process on a low res screen, don't zoom in and out, print little ones (8*10) and crop the daylights out of them share 1024 by 680 on the web... and don't plan on following technology as it rapidly changes what we see in the next dozen years, then any of the lenses (although you will not have good light gathering ability from the cheap lens) will do, although you have to ask, why did you buy a D800 then. So, depending on your camp, 24mm-85mm zoom if you don't care, 24-70mm f2.8 if you care, and Primes if you really care. I hardly ever use a zoom, they are not as good a primes, if your lookin' then there is no substitue. JD [/QUOTE]
