So, I'm pretty sure I'm going go get the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 (though I'm not thrilled about the lack of VR, but have heard good things). Problem is, I keep reading bad things about FX lenses on DX cameras - as in, waste of money (ken rockwell says "[on my D300, I'd rather have my 18-200, but for my D3, the 24-70 is invaluable]"). Is this so? I'd buy a D3, but wait, don't quite have 5k lying around.
