I have two lenses for the 810, the micro 105 and the 24-70, both previously mentioned in the responses. Each is superb at what it is intended to to. Were I with your plans, I would opt for the 24-70 first, then when you can get the 105. I have waited on the 70-200 since I do almost everything other than macro with the 24-70. For you needs the 24-70 would be a great choice.
I can also do most everything with the 24-70, but have a 70-300 [eventually to be replaced with the 70-200mm f/2.8] for longer shots. I opted to get the 200-500mm first because so often I have wished to have more reach for birds and wildlife! I didn't want to lose that added 100mm even though the 70-200 is a superior lens! Now I can fill that niche whenever my spending program can accommodate it!
