Best lenses to go with Nikon D800
Thinking of upgrading my D300 which I have had since they first came out for Nikon D800. What lens would you get with it to start off. I also have a Sigma. 10-20 Sigma 150 - 500 Sigma 105 Nikon 70-300 and a very old 18-70. Any of Hesse worth keeping or is it better to start again. Costs are a issue.
Thank you in advance.

18-70 is a DX crop sensor lens, don't know how it would perform on a full frame camera. I am also not a great fan of Sigma lenses but its horses for courses, if your happy with Sigma then stay with them, but remember Nikon lenses as supposed to be better. As for which lens that depends on what your taking photos of so can't help there.

If I had a D800, and the funds I would get...
AF-S 50mm f/1.4 G
AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
If I had limited funds I'd get the first one - it's the cheapest of the lot but should really help show off your new camera

Remember there's the new FX-Format AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR lens.
Prices will be marked high to begin with but (as has been the case for Canon users) the f4 70-200 lenses have been a great alternative to the heavier faster f2.8 70-200 lenses, esp now we can lean more on the ISO of the camera.
