And to mis interpret words, I just don't want to upset anybody Dave. We have known each other for a long while but I still don't want to seem free and easy with your money.
It would be easy just to take the expensive option and run knowing I am on safe ground.
I was a bit tired when i made the post. If it were me I would probably go with Riches's solution but I would be uneasy about the outcome. By going with the newer lens you can be confident that you have the best Nikon can offer.
Having read the technical notes about the D800 lens requirements it seems that for the ultimate image quality you need to use the very latest AFS lenses, no surprise I suppose but if they were making false claims I think they would have been shot down in flames by now. What makes that claim more credible to me is they also say they must be used at their sweet apertures too. I think Nikon knew what they were doing and where they were going, when they introduced the new range of lenses with nano crystals and stuff.
So that's my reasoning Dave. I should have explained it in a bit more detail. Put it down to British reserve!
