24-70 2.8
This lens would stay on your camera 95% of the time. A 50mm f1.8 is excellent for low light situations and works great indoors for that reason taking photos of family and grandkids. There is an amazing difference between 2.8 and 1.8.
I have owned the 28-300mm since I purchased my first dslr, the d7000. It is a fantastically versatile lens, esp. on vacations, and works well on my D800 when I need something more than the 24-70.

"...Nikon D750 with Tamron 45mm f/1.8 SP VC lens..." epic millinery fashion editorial CO
In my humble estimation it's who you shoot, the team you use and the worth of a breathtaking visual statement that actually matters for fashion renderings... btw, I personally found that absolutely no VR can surpass the acuity gained by a massive tripod, mirror up and remote release... experience is a brutal teacher.... Yes I shoot either a monopod with VR Pro level glass (zoom limited to only 3x max) or tripod for location fashion editorial...
All the best on your journey CO...

I have a D750 and use the Tamron 45mm f/1.8 SP VC lens on it. Very few prime lenses have stabilization. The vibration compensation and large maximum aperture make it a great low light lens. It also has a metal lens barrel and is fully weather sealed including a weather seal at the lens mount. I have taken photos as slow as 1/30 second. The vibration compensation kept the image rock steady.
Nice shot - I also love the Tamron 45mm f/1.8 SP VC - great little lens and great bang for the buck - you can often get it new for $399.

). Thanks in advance for your kind input.Since you do not want a lot of lenses you should go with zooms.
Since you are already familiar with Tamron, if you do go with a 24-70 2.8 consider the SP G2 24-70 2.8 from Tamron - it has great IQ and excellent VC (stabilization) and is much less expensive than the Nikon.
If you want more of a walk around lens get the Nikkor 24-120 F/4 lens - it was originally the lens they sold with the D750 and I think it is the lens they are coupling even now with the new D780. It is a pretty good lens across the board - you can still get pretty good bokeh for portraits at the longer end and the range is more versatile than the 24-70 - both would likely serve you just fine.

Tripod, mirror up feature, and remote are definitely is the way to go. I like the Tamron 45mm because the combination of large max aperture and vibration compensation are great for hand holding the camera is low light conditions.Sep 12, 2020 12:00:50 #

Thanks. What camera or cameras do you use the Tamron on? It's on sale for $399 now. I forgot now if I paid the full price of $599 or the sale price.
