[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 483511, member: 13090"] I'll jump in here since I recently got the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 myself and it's been my daily carry for a few weeks now instead of my Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 (aka "Laurel and Hardy"). DxO Mark rates this lens as the best 24-70mm on the market (right now) for the D750 so I think you could expect even better performance on your D800. In short, I'm very happy with my (grey market) copy. It's a big, beefy lens and I wish it took 77mm filters but that's my biggest complaint. Image quality is excellent (better wide than long but strong across the focal length), the OS/VR/VC (whatever Tamron calls it), is really, really good. Shockingly good. I've been shooting this lens a lot so sample shots can be found in my [url=http://nikonites.com/project-365-s/27806-horoscope-fish-fishbowl-o-rama-365-2015-a-45.html#post482343]365[/url] thread if you're interested. If you have specific questions just let me know. I'm curious how the recently announced Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 VRII will stack up against it but with a MSRP of $2,400 my interest is pretty limited.
