Perhaps a wide angle? Just a hint, I use my 12-24 f4 with my full frame from 16-24mm without vignette.
A good used lens like it should be around $500. Obviously, if you want to spend more that is your prerogative.
It is my understanding that modern wide angles made by Tokina are excellent in quality. Even their 12-24 f4 can be used like my Nikon lens with excellent results at the specified focal lengths.

Thought I throw this out to the Nikon groupies. Recently picked up a Nikon D750 with the AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens. Enjoying the camera and lens so far while still mastering it's intricacies. Looking into the future, thoughts on which Full Frame lens I should put on my wish list. Camera pretty much used as an all around, photographing at model train shows and displays, the family dog, family affairs, and backyard wildlife plus other sights and scenes.


Maybe Tamron 150-600 G2.

A terrific addition to your current lens on that body is the Nikon AFS 80-400mm Nano lens. It will get you much closer to that backyard wildlife as well as expand your capabilities immensely.


200-500 better choice there.

You already have a great combination (24-120 and D750.) Don't burden yourself with more equipment. Instead, learn to use what you already have.

If it were me--and of course it's not--I would add the 20mm f/1.8 at the wide end, and the 300 f/4 PF at the long end. Keeps it simple, easy to carry, and no overlap. Your current lens is very good.

the 28-300 is a good walking around lens, and can get you pretty close for birds etc.

The next logical step for you is 70-XXX ......

You are suffering from GAS and every GASaphobic here will tell you the list of lenses you just HAVE to have. If you ask a question like this, you do not need another lens. Extra lenses should be bought for need, not GAS. When you have a need for another lens, you will know what that lens is, it's that simple. Don't let the GASer's here drain your savings; many here stock a private camera store in their homes and still can't stand it until a new camera is released.

I have a lot of lenses and photograph a lot of wildlife as well landscapes and other subjects. The lens I use the most is a 28 to 300. I can go anywhere with this one lens which I call the perfect "walk around" lens. It's not the highest quality among Nikon lenses but I've never had an issue with. Seldom would I use it for wildlife (but did in one case) as it doesn't focus as fast as my wildlife lenses. But for landscapes and general photography, it's great.

I agree with this totally. Your 24-120 covers a wide range of focal lengths and will serve you well in most situations. A longer lens would be useful for taking pictures of birds and other wildlife. If that isn't your interest, forget it. If you become interested in macro photography, you can always add a macro lens, but the first thing you should do is master what you have before thinking about anything else.

Keep what you have and learn how to use it. More lenses and you wont know which one to use and you will never become a photographer, just a picture taker

Common problem:
"i've got too many lenses! i don"t know which one to use! I'll never be a photographer!"

You should only buy a new lens if you have a specific use in mind that your present lens won't handle. (Longer reach, closer focusing, wider aperture.) If you can't think of one, then don't buy another lens "just in case." Even so, it's still a good idea to master what you already have first. Buy a good book on your camera and read it several times.
