    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.

    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.
