A standard zoom for D800?

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that there are two models of 24-120.

There is a fixed aperture 24-120 f/4 which is probably your best bet f you really can't cope with a 24-70, but there's an older variable aperture 24-120 which is crap and to be avoided.

If you want to cut the weight and you already have a wide angle, have you considered the 1.8 primes?
