[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 107297, member: 9240"] Hard to go wrong when you have that stuff in your bag. :) I'm in the middle of reevaluating my entire bag as I grow from shooting all DX to having the D600, so I'm still in the honeymoon phase with a lot of things, so I don't know if I really have a "go to". I will say that I'm thoroughly impressed with the 24-85mm kit lens that I got with the D600. I could wish it was brighter, but not much to complain about otherwise, It sits on my camera most of the time since I'm currently in "real work" mode rather than "I'm heading out for the day to go shoot" mode, in which case I couldn't leave without the 28mm f1.8. On my D7000, if I'm doing landscapes then I actually love my Sigma 8-16mm. Otherwise, my Sigma 150-500mm spent, and still spends, a lot of time on there. Great for birds and critters on the cropped sense, and I do enough of that stuff where I can see holding onto them for a long time. It may get lost in the shuffle, but I have a question for Glenn regarding his use of DX mode on his D800. Is there a reason you prefer shooting this way, at a loss of resolution (I know it's 10.5MP vs. 24.3MP on my D600), rather than cropping afterward if you can't get quite as close as you'd like?
