The lenses I have are high quality fast glass. I would lose a lot of money selling them to buy FX lenses. Specialty lenses such as my 85mm F/3.5 VRII Micro and my Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 can be used on the D7000 body as well as the D800. I also use an 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 VRII DX on my D7000. Buying an 70-200mm F/2.8 is not only expensive but redundant. I'd rather extend the focal length to 28-300mm F/3.5-5.6 VRII with the 36.3 Mpixel D800 and crop if necessary. That would effectively give me a much longer focal length for no extra money spent. The 28-300mm is $1029, 24-70mm is $1900, and the 70-200mm F/2.8 is $2400.  The lens I chose is the bargain of the group that allows me to keep my D7000 and excellent glass without hocking everything for one general purpose lens and a new body.</p></blockquote><p></p>
