I have been switching around for the all around lens for the D800 for when I don't want to be burdened with mulitiple bags. I have run from 24-85, 35-70, 24-120, and lately the 28-105.
The winner is the 28-105. I have the older D version, built well, and holds up well in the sharpness department. The macro actually functions pretty well. At first, I was not convinced, sometimes the D800 has more trouble focusing that lens more so then some of my other zooms, but seems to have gotten better.
So,, that is now the lens that seems to be holding up, otherwise its the 20-35, 35-70 combo for a bit higher up in the food chain.
