If you want to see stuff up closer then you need to go more telephoto. Most DSLRs have a crop view and for Nikon D60 it's 1.5X so if you use 50mm lens, you'll see like looking through 75mm lens (which is telephoto). So 24-70 is behaving mostly like a little wide to telephoto.
f/2.8 lens will give brighter viewfinder and better autofocus speeds/accuracy.
24-70 maybe a full frame lens but a cropper sensor camera would use the sweet spot in the center of the lens which will yield the best resolution, edge to edge sharpness, and no/less vignetting.
A better lens is always a better lens but more lenses can be more fun and could yield you pictures you would've never else have taken for the same price as a 24-70. You could get walkaround, lower light, macro, and more telephoto lenses for the price.

Would the difference still be worth the extra money, eg AF-S 24-70mm ED vs AF-S 16-85mm ED DX VR @ a third the price, especially when the 24-70mm is really only optimised for full-frame cameras? |
