I have a Nikon 17-55 dx lens and a D800E and have been thinking about the Nikon 24-70.
The DX 17-55mm lens is the equivalent of a 25-82mm FX lens. here is my question - what am I loosing with the excellent 17-55dx that I gain with the 24-75mm Nikon?

Using the 17-55 on your D800 in DX mode reduces your megapixels to 16. Kind of defeats the reason for owning the D800. The 24-70 is a fx lens and is better suited to the D800 taking advantage of the potential of the camera.
