I've used them all, this is my opinion...

14-24G vs. 16-35L II = 14-24G sharper and less distortion but the 16-35 has the more user friendly range IMO.
24-70G vs. 24-70L = 24-70G and it's not even close
70-200G II vs. 70-200L II = Draw, both are great
85 1.4G vs. Sigma 85 vs. Canon 85 1.2L II = 85/1.2 IMO, the other two are comparable.

The only lens in this bunch I wouldn't want is the Canon 24-70L, all the others are really great optically.

Im thinking of adding D800, 14-24G, 24-70G, Canon 70-200 II (for 5D), and either the Nikon 85 1.4G or the Canon 85L II. Lucky for me I still have a long time to decide.

The problem is finding a 85 1.4 G in stock.

Yes, I bought my D3s from this place but I called in the order.

Np.

Should be an interesting combo with the D800.

Lucky you! You'll have an amazing combo with the D800. WIll you have another Nikon body to use before you get the D800?

Not atm. I'll just have to wait till I get it. Since this changes my plan of attack, the next lens will be the 24-70 G. I can work with the 14-24, 24-70, and 85 1.4 G.

Ugh my dream combo at the moment! Ive been watching videos on the 85G and 14-24G and those are just gorgeous bits of glass. Im taking my business plans more serious as each day passes. Im strongly going to consider my future "pro" set up Still have a few more months to iron things out.

Just saw a D3x at FM for $4450. The value is dropping fast even though the D800E is two months out.

no $1,500?

That'll be the April price.

Someone else had a trade on there, D3s for D3x. If I had a D3x I would do it in a heart beat. A D800 would compliment that body well. Not to mention the D3s will hold it's value better.
