it's insane. getting D800 for web/small print using DX lenses.
IMO, if you have cash for D800 you should be able to afford high quality lenses.
I do own mostly high end glass and yes I prefer to use those on my 800E but I have no problem using a DX fisheye or my 18-200 occasionally.
He's already bought the 800, whether he needed it or not is now beside the point. Why is it sacrilege to use some his DX lenses until he can get better glass.
(And why do some people think buying a camera body is a life altering decision!)

Go for the 28/1.8
Great lens for the money.

Hi everyone,
I bought my first FX Camera last weekend along with the battery grip and AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4g and I'm quite happy with this combo. Before that I've had the D90 and I know some of my lenses won't fully work on my FX Camera. I don't mind using the DX mode for a while however I'd like to know which lens should I buy next!
I'm mostly a City / Landscape shooter and Wildlife when I have the time to!
This is the lenses I currently have...
Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM
AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8g (Which I replaced with the 50mm f/1.4g)
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR (It came with my older D40)
AF-S VR Nikkor Micro 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
AF-S VR Nikkor Zoom 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM
I plan on keeping my 70-300mm as my only telephoto lens for now. I was quite satisfied with it on my D90. Lightweight and effective enough for me I'm thinking of getting another prime lens since I really like the results of the 50mm f/1.4g. Maybe something wider like the AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.8G for ~700$ or the AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G for ~500$
I'm still debating between prime and zoom lenses... It's either going prime only with these two or wait a bit longer and get either the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED or AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED...
