Advice on a lens/ camera set up

3 years 10 months ago #686695 by christopher-isaac
I’m very much at the beginner stage of photography but am looking at a Nikon D750 (I have a D3500 at the moment with a sigma 18-35mm f1.8 lens). I have been offered a trade in deal for my current set up in exchange for a D750 with a AF-S 24-85 mm f/ 3.5 - 4.5 G ED VR. 
Im interested in some landscape, street photography and portrait, just looking for thoughts on the lens from someone who knows better than me!

I use the 24~70 ƒ2.8 since quite some time. It has the
advantages of a constant ƒ 2.8 at all focal length and
the same aperture has great focus falloff for portraits.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

If you don't want to spend much more money, get the 24-120 f/4. You will love constant aperture.

A sale was announced today on the D750+lens. This would be an opportune moment.
