Jorgen, I use the 85 PC-E lens constantly for studio and table top work. Love it and have always thought it is one of Nikons better lenses. When the D800 was first introduced I had the chance to demo the camera for a long weekend and used the 85 PC-E lens quite a bit for my landscape work and found it to be without fault in this situation as well, notwithstanding using apertures that did not push the envelop of the tiny pixels on this camera to the extreme.
It is worth noting also when in macro mode diffraction issues due to DOF/Aperture and pixel size do not raise their ugly head in quite the same way. IOW's you can get away with more, well within limits.
Hope this helps.

Would the old Micro Nikkor 85mm PC still be a valid option for this?
