D600 lens choice for amateur. Advice appreciated.

My advise is to buy the very best lens you can afford. It is the lens along with the photographer that takes great pictures. Not the camera. Get the best coating, and elements you can. Primes will give you great shots but if you travel alot get the 24-70 2.8. It is expensive but well worth it and you won't be wondering if you should have bought something else. I took it to Hawaii 2 weeks ago and got some great shots. Rent what you are thinking of buying first so you can get a feel for weight and how it responds to your personal type of photography.
