There is a noticeable difference in quality as expected.
So Yes good glass definitely shows the difference on the D800. This was also apparent with the D3 but to a much lesser extent.
Next tests are to prove the point that Dave Groen raised which is that on D3/D700 it was possible to hand hold and get usable results at the reciprocal of the lens focal length minus 1 stop e.g so with a 100mm lens you could possibly get away with 1/50th sec., but with D800 it seems that it is better to use +1 stop e.g. For 100mm lens you need to use 1/200th second.
I did some quick and dirty tests today and I think that this is a very good new rule with the D800.
This camera is very picky about your technique.
I will try to do some flash and on tripod tests in the next week.
