Hogan does not have a list of "acceptable" lenses for the D850. He has a list of "best" lenses for the D850, which he also calls recommended. The 28-70mm, superseded 10 years ago by the 24-70mm, did not make the cut but the newer versions of both the 24-70 f2.8 and the 70-200 f2.8 are on the best list.
You're correct, OJ. Hogan's calls them the "Best" lenses for the D850. Also 28-70 was a typo. I meant 24-70. However, both the 24-70 and 70-200 that I have that have just been replaced with the e versions have an asterisk by them in Hogan's list, indicating that he's considering removing them from the list. Considering, apparently, but hasn't. So why tell us that he's "considering????"

According to Jack Dykinga "Concentrate on technology and your images will be technologically excellent. Concentrate on seeing the nuisances of light and your images will stir the soul."

I really like my D4. However, after reading all the hype and all the new bells and whistles, i.e., focus stacking, etc., I am thinking about trading my D4 for an 850. Does this make any sense? I am not the kind of photographer that needs the latest tech but if the improvements were compelling enough I would be willing to pay the cost difference.
Your D4 is selling for between $1350 and $2500. The D850 is selling for $3200. So, you will need between $700 to $1850 plus your D4. IF it was me, and it's not, if I am shooting sports you are getting more frames per second with the D4. If your shooting landscapes then yes, the focus stacking plus all the other improvements make it worth the price. But if it were me, and it's not, either keep the D4 or sell it to me for $1000.00. But I would own both.

In camera focus stacking.
There is a reason Nikon does not use the term focus stacking. The camera does focus shifting but that's it. Then final product, the stacking, must be done externally in software. Panasonic has in camera focus technology.

In my opinion - anything what can improve your photography is good and with to get. Yet depends of your photo specialty. But I think it's worth it anyway.
