I have a d600
and I use my 18-35 AF-D ED lens for specific purposes. Essentially perspective distortion. Go to my Flickr and look at the Car shows. Most of the shots are at certain positions where I use the 18 toe elongate swoopy fenders etc because of the 18mm distortion.
The 18-35 is great for that. And great for landscape.
For a general "walkaround" lens I used my 24-85/2.8-4.0 AF-D lens. Light, cheap (used $300sih) and fairly fast.
I also have various other lenses but those 2 are specific for 2 specific uses. I don't have the funds for a 24-70/2.8, or even the 28-70/2.8.
Keep in mind your d610 has a built in body motor. So you are not limited by AF on AF-S only lenses (built in focus motor). You can expand your search to AF-D type lenses, such as the 24-85/2.8-4.0 which is a AF-D lens (requires a body motor for the lens only has gears for AutoFocus, which the camera's body motor is used for.
