I was going to suggest a Canon 28-135 but that would have similar issues :-(
My friend was going to suggest the Maxxum 28-135 but thaz likewise problematic :-(
Regardless, we felt compelled to post about our dead ended trains of thought :-(

The best inexpensive lens…prime or zoom?
1. Prime- 50mm f1.8
2. Zoom- Af-d 28-70 f3.5-4.5

…and cropping the D850 is pretty much the pixel density of a D500

Dude, you’re in great shape, and you’re gonna dig the D850

After 13 pages of posts🤔, I think we can safely conclude that some photographers prefer primes and some prefer zooms.😄
Generally, in many cases, there are exceptions, in my opinion, not always however, it may be inferred, but I assume most, maybe

If everyone simply said “generally”, half the responses to this post would have been rendered doubly redundant.

Well there are a lot of opinions out there, I think we can all agree that a prime will always be sharper and have less distortion, but at what point does it matter to you, could you look at a photo and say whether it was shot with a zoom or a prime? I’ve always found that the convenience of a zoom far outweighs the small or perhaps imperceptible flaws compared to a prime.

You don't think that portrait could have been done just as well or maybe even better with today's quality short range f2.8 zoom?
Doesn’t matter what the facts are, people believe that somehow the mundane is made glorious by esoterica

The bigger the gear the duller the pix. Its a rather definitive quotient, clearly observable throughout photography. Your denial of that hints that you lean toward the bigger gear.
No you’re confusing that with: the finer the recording the more pedestrian the performance, audiophile rule #1.
Size is irrelevant, 8x10 film is big, much bigger than 35mm, bigger tripod, bigger camera, bigger lens, Digital FF is bigger than MFT, the difference is quite measurable if not readily visually apparent, Fast primes are larger than slow ones, yet the fast ones are generally superior. Your argument is nonsense.

My first choice $ no object, D850 and 80-400 lens, second choice would be D500 with the 200-500, For the record I have the D850 and the AF-D 80-400, but I use the 80-400 solely on my D300S. Cuz I'm cheap and I don't want to damage expensive equipment on my travails

With a smaller sensor from the same position, you won't have to crop as much.

Better to have the megapixels and not need them, than to need the megapixels and not have them, by that I mean, D850, I would recommend the D500 only if you did birds due to the autofocus, but the D850 gives you all that and more pixels than you will ever need. I shoot Jpeg med (27mgpix) and they are exquisite. The downsizing of the jpeg reduces noise as a design bonus!

Unless absolute speed is necessary, or depth of field control is critical, then fast glass isn’t necessary, F8 and be there. In the film daze it was different when your top asa was 64, that’s when I learned to love the 35-70 f2.8

The lens I used the most on my Crop sensor Nikon was the 24-120, any of the iterations, the VR was a game changer. The 16-80 and 16-85 are both great, the 35-70 is superb on full frame but just too limited, I use mine for weddings. If you have a clean one, set it aside. I’ve tried Tamron and Sigma, never had a problem, just couldn’t get into them.

Unquestionably an upgrade if only for the VR and the range. I’ve had and used both the 35-70 f2.8 and the 16-80, I can’t tell the difference visually, except where lower shutter speeds gave the nod to the VR lens.
I no longer have the 16-80 as I went to ff and the 24-120, I like it better but could live with the APS-C Nikon sensor and the 16-80 quite happily.
