Photojazz, quite some time ago I did a write-up (on Getdpi) of my initial test and impressions of the Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 on the D800e. I don't have the link at the moment but a search might find it.
We all should keep in mind that some of the many lenses we're describing that have soft/smeared corners on the D800/E don't necessarily have quite the same degree of softness when used on a lower pixel density DSLR. I mention this as sometimes a lens is described as being soft on the corners, when it's not so much the lens as the senor it's used on. Thats why so many wide angle lenses these days seem to fail what some would consider the ultimate test when used on the D800/e...namely corner sharpness.
