I have the 24-70f2.8 lens. I use it often when I'm distance limited or studio work. I'd not consider it a walk around lens but I suppose there's not much better, I usually use a 50mm prime. My experience with lenses other than Nikkor is that they're capable, cheaper and ALMOST as good.
Is there that much of an improvement in a 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 prime over one of these lenses set at 50mm? I suppose I could get a 50mm prime and then get the 24-70 later if I felt I needed it. It just seems like a waste to get both. I only have one prime lens and it is a special use lens. I don't have any experience with general use primes.
not about improvement, it's about easy and inconspicuous carry. The 50 on my D810 is a nice dressing down and the 50mm on a full frame is what journalists used for almost everything, good enough for me for the walk around. Now I have a full kit and if I have a target in mind I'll choose the appropriate lens.
