The only lenses I'd consider for the 850 are Nikkor lenses, with good reason. I think you got a couple of good choices there.

Don't discount the Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art; for the rest, yes, best Nikkor glass would be advisable, e.g. 70-200 2.8FL (not cheap but wow, what great pictures). In addition, bring your A game to the D850 show bec as others have said, flaws will show up if you don't.

Thank you for the comment. So are you saying you can’t get BBF with the D850?
Sorry for the confusion. I meant that even though the D750 does not have the dedicated BBF button of cameras such as the D850, it is possible to reassign another button to provide the BBF function. the AF/AL button fills in nicely.

So I want to get my first full frame dslr. I know I’ll need lenses, got money for those. I’m comparing the D850 to the D750. Pros and cons on both sides. I’m not a professional so I think 46 MP on the D850 might be overkill. I like the fact that the D750 has 2 SD slots although it doesn’t offer the touchscreen that the D850 does. Plus the D750 is about half the price. Looking for input from folks who may have shot with both.
I have not used a D750 but I do own a D600 so we are in the ballpark. I have shot with a D800 for three years and the 600 was farmed out to my daughter to use. Used properly, the extra 12 megapixels was a game-changer for my landscapes. I print a lot and big.
Just recently I got the 850 and once again my output has improved significantly. I love my 800 but the 850 is head and shoulders above it on multiple levels for what I need.
Buy the best for what you do and need within your budget. It is not a sign of being emasulated if you say you just can't quite justify the cost right now.

I have the 850 and what I like about the massive megapixels is the cropping ability. Take one shot and you can crop three out of the image. One thing I don't like about it is the second slot is the QXD card but so far, it remains empty.
The QXD slot is for high speed memory for video. Unless you do video it is pointless and EXPENSIVE!

Why not the D780?
Much newer, superior AF to the D750, has a new BSI sensor nearly identical to the new Z6 camera. With greater DR, and much better JPEGs. Superior on sensor phase detection lacking on the D750.
Live view is night and day between the two.
Both the D750 and the D850 are getting old technology wise.
Just a thought.

Just a thought, why is this 3.5 year old discussion of even older DSLRinosaurs generating new comments in the present?

Funny that you equate sensor density with professional needs. Nikon's most expensive flagship camera, the D6 is $6500 and at 20 mp has less than half the resolution of the D850. There are many other factors that make a camera desirable for "professional" use - and megapixels, touchscreens, dual card slots, etc are not that important to a pro.
The D850 has the widest dynamic range, with 46mp the most flexibility when cropping provided you have exceptionally good lenses, together with acceptably fast shooting, ideal for birds and wildlife, and a lot of other features that may make it a candidate for consideration. The D850 is currently on special for $2500, the D750 is $1500. The D850 having been released in 2017, is newer than the D750, which was released in 2014, and has since been superseded by the D780.
Bottom line if you like to shoot landscape and wildlife and can justify the higher cost of Nikon's better lenses, the D850 may be the better choice. If you are a very casual shooter, not averse to compromising image quality with a mediocre lens that has a 10.7X zoom (the 28-300) the D750 would be a better choice, since the extra resolution of the D850 will not only give you no real increase in sharpness and detail capture, it will reveal the flaws inherent to the 28-300 and other less costly consumer/prosumer lenses from Nikon and others.
