Well I own the 24-70 for my humble D3s, bought new so that is the truest indicator of my beliefs.

I am sure that is the case Rich, the D800 is even more demanding than the D3x.

My favorite lens is my 50mm f1.8 AF-D, but this simply doesn't work on the D3s in any kind of sunlight, so perhaps it is a good idea to go newer where possible.

The 50mm f1.8 is a very old design and some samples are known to hotspot in IR, that indicates to me that it may also hotspot in the visible range. Yours may be in the affected group perhaps.

How does this manifest itself Rich, Can you post an image which is affected please. Perhaps in another thread?
