I have the 28 and 85G, and the 50 and 60D.
I also have two older zooms, the 35-70D and the 28-200D. I barely use them, but keep them around for my film camera, which I never use anymore either, lol.
The 35-70D is an interesting lens because it's also a macro. You have to manually turn it on to macro. The zoom on it is one of those push-pulls. It gives a very contrasty image and I quite like the way it renders color, especially outdoors.
But I use primes 99.9% of the time. This morning I went out shooting and brought the 28 and 60. The 28 for wider shots and the 60 for closer shots and just in case I needed macro.
I have the 35-70/2.8 AFD too and I have a hard time using it but not becz of my primes but becz I have a 24-85 AFD - just more reach both ways on my d600.
I use the 80-200/2.8 AFD all the time for my kids sports, its the lens on my d7000 half of the time.
