I was also thinking to go for a prime, something like a 20mm 2.8D. It's not too expensive, and surely much more portable than a zoom lens.

For what it matters, I read KR when I need to cheer up for some reason.

not used it but Ren Crockwel gives it the OK

but the only lens you are likly to be really happy with is the 16-35 f 4

Hi, my first post!

After many years of D90, I've just bought a D800 and I am looking for a decent wide angle lens to replace my 12-24 f/4 DX (which I loved and it was by far the lens that I have used most in these years).
Unfortunately, I have already spent a lot of money on D800 + 24-120, so I was thinking to buy a "cheap" wide angle until I can do a better investiment.

So, the question: how would the old Nikon 18-35 perform on the D800? Can I get some decent results?

Have a look at my works ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/davideanastasia/ ) if you need an hint on what I will actually shot with this wide angle. Ah, the lens MUST be able to take filters.
