I have a few of the higher end lenses too. I use te 28-300 and now 24-120 lenses as my 'walk around lenses'. Looking forward to getting out and trying out my lenses on the D850! Thanks for the reminders on how to nail the exposure. Great points!!

Thanks, Lou

I really do like my 28-300. The OIS works
very well. Be aware that in household size
rooms where your subject distance is often
10ft or less, then the long end is reduced
to about 135mm, even tho the control ring
reads 300. IOW, extreme focus breathing.

Due to the size of the 28-300, I also got a
24-120 which now sees more use than the
28-300. The 24-120 is more general use ...
for me ... and I only switch to the 28-300
if I absolutely know I'll need it.

If I could only keep one of the lenses, it's
the 24-120. I have no problem simply not
taking the few pictures that need the extra
reach, plus I prefer the shorter wide end.

I'm aware of lens geeks and their opinions
about these wide ratio zooms. If you are
vulnerable to such propaganda then you'll
never sleep well at night if you buy one !

I like both the 28-300, but have started using the 24-120 more on the D610. I'll be trying out all my lenses on the D850.

Thanks for the tip on "focus breathing".

Thanks, Lou
