Good afternoon everyone,
I've been pondering a new lens for a while now and thought I'd ask for the opinions of the forum to help me choose.
A short while ago I upgraded to a D810 with a Nikon 16-35mm f/4 for wide angle as well as a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 for more general purpose shots. I'm interested in an 'all rounder' or general purpose lens for landscapes, portraits, walk-around etc to complement the 50mm and beyond and have narrowed it down to three choices.
Nikon 24-120 f/4
Nikon 28-300 f/3.5 - 5.6
Nikon 24-70 f/2.8
Ideally I'd like the 24-70 but it's certainly at the costlier end of the three - from what I've read I'm leaning towards the 24-120 as I don't think it will be too much of a compromise at my current skill level...but if you look at sites such as Ken Rockwell he seems to advocate the 28-300.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Type-o in the Subject... not strictly telephoto zooms more normal zooms!
