Just seen there's a technical manual also that comes with the D800/800E and that marks out how to get sharp pictures.
Some of the info most avid fotogs already know and use those as their second skin. but for new fotogs who have money and brought the Best they could afford then the tips are worth a read.

interestingly they sneakily advertise that best results are gotten from the following lenses.
Excerpt taken from the technical manual:
With cameras like the D800E, which are suited to visually complex subjects, it is important to get as much sharpness from the lens as possible. Contrast at the periphery of the im- age can generally be increased by choosing an aperture two or three stops from the maximum, although results will vary from lens to lens. Below are some of the lenses you can use for enhanced sharpness:
AF-S NIKKOR 1424mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 2470mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 70200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
AF-S NIKKOR 1635mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 24120mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 200400mm f/4G ED VR II
AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED
AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G
AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G
AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II
AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/2.8G ED VR II
AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED
AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED
no mention of lens that are below 800$
So are they saying subliminally buy new lenses to get the best of your camera
The new AF-S Nikkor 58mm f1.4 G shall be included as the recommended lens for Nikon D800E as well.
Nikon should update their list !
