Nikon Lens Advice...Please - DPChallenge Forums

I got the Nikon D750 and I�m just figuring out what lens work and which ones don�t. Unfortunately my favorite �walk-about� Nikon 10-200mm isn�t going to work...regrettable sigh. I�m not even sure what I need to be looking for in the lens descriptions. I�ve figured out I don�t want any Dx Lens....

Soooo what are you using on your Nikons for a walk-about lens.

I�ve set my goal on the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 to replace my wide angle. Unless you have a better choice.

Does anyone have any used Nikon Lens you�d like to sell?

Hi Janine, why not just pm or check out the glass other D750 users on here are using? https://www.dpchallenge.com/camera.php?CAMERA_ID=2311

In terms of lenses, every so often I toy with the idea of selling my birding lens - the 300mm f.4 - as I just don't use it much any more. And an 18-105mm f3.5-5.6 but sounds like it won't work if your 18-200mm won't work with the D750.

I like the Nikon 28-300 as a walking-around lens. Nice range on my D800.

I also have the Tamron 150-600 for wildlife, though I may need to sell that one. I've developed a tremor and I can't seem to hold it steady anymore (or hold a monopod steady) :-(

For wide angle I have a Sigma 20mm f/1.8 that I love.

And that would be a direct focal length match for the 18-200 DX lens. I'm always afraid of the "super zooms" as they are usually optical compromises. This one is no different. Here is a review that covers the details.

Ugh - that�s not a good review at all...given he amount of $$...what other alternatives are there?

Generally I agree with this statement... the only exception I encountered so far is Olympus 12-100mm. Amazingly sharp and contrasty at all focal lengths, very quick to focus and incredible image stabilization in combination with IBIS. Sorry for an of-topic comment.

I find the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 is my "go to" lens.

Try one out, first, by renting one if you can.

I haven�t used my 24-85mm as a walk-about but maybe I should try...it works fine on my camera.

I was just hoping to have a little more range.

24-70 works very well for my walk about lens tho sometimes use the 70-200 if need more reach
