Thank you for the input, Ill we probably purchase that one this weekend, any more suggestions?

The only way you need to go now would be the extremes. A wide angle zoom, Nikon makes a really inexpensive one 10-20 , it’s great for landscapes. If you want to do wildlife you will want a super zoom. Tamron makes an affordable 150- 600 zoom, or something similar.

Hello fellow Photographers, I just purchased a Nikon D850, I bought a 28-300 lens with it-what does everyone recommend for my next lens? I do a little of everything -landscape - flowers- some people (no Portraits') just a little variety of everything- I live in Colorado so landscape and mountain scenery a lot

I would consider going a little wider with high quality glass, Take a look at the Zeiss 18mm...a little pricey and manual everything but the image quality is worth it. This is my go-to for landscapes.

Too many choices, too little time. For what you do, these are all possible. Nikon 16-35 f4, 24-120 f4, 70-200 2.8 FL, or 70-200 2.8 VRII, 200-500 f5.6. Again, the list could go on and on and on and on. Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.

Nikon 10.5 f2.8, Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2, Nikon 200-500 f5.6, Tokina 100 f2.8 macro, have fun.

Try to buy f2.8 lens or less. They are more expensive but so much more sharper.

Use what you have until you find yourself unable to get photos you want with one exception ... get the f1.8, 5O mm for the critical low light capabilities. The half stop advantage of the f1.4 is seldom worth the additional cost which could better be spent on a good speedlight.

I would seriously consider purchasing the 70-200 f2.8. It is a workhorse lens and of all of the lenses I own it is my "go too" lens for most everything I shoot. The second choice would be the 24-70 f2.8. Congratulations on purchasing the D850!

I don’t want to rain on your parade, but I don’t think the lens is a good match for the body. I have a D810 and no variable aperture lenses in my arsenal of 11 lenses. You should at least have a 24-70 f/2.8 and a 70-200 f/2.8 if you want wide angle you should be able to get a deal on a Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 or Nikkor 16-35 f/4

The 28-300 is a big compromise lens on the 850 ! -
you NEED a very high quality 24-70mm for serious work.

The 28-300 will serve very well. There are
acoarst lenses that will test better under lab
conditions. IF you always work with a tripod,
and shoot base ISO raw files, you WOULD
see a difference from using those lenses. No
one ELSE will see the difference but you will
have that private satisfaction.

For normal photographs as viewed by normal
audiences there is only one aspect of the 28-
300 that could hold you back in certain photo
situations and that would be lens speed. My
personal choice in that matter is a fast normal
lens, and becuz I insisted on VR even for the
normal lens I went for the Tamron.

YMMV so I can't recommend that you do, or
do not, go for a normal lens. BUT ! if you DO
go for a normal you really can't lose with the
Tamron 45/1.8 VR.

The Nikon 70-200 f4 is just as sharp as the 70-200 2.8. The Nikon 85mm 1.8 is just as sharp as the 85 mm 1.4, in fact, many pro's have gone to the 1.8 because they feel it is sharper. The Nikon 200-500 f5.6 delivers images on par with it's f4 and f2.8 super telephoto peers. With today's glass and advancements in technology and post processing 2.8 and faster lenses are in many instances no sharper than there slower counterparts. Sharpness is more a result of the skill of the photographer than the actual equipment used.

10-20 is a DX lens and would be a waste on a D850. Besides most accomplished landscape shooters use longer lenses, and often employ pano stitching for wider views. Wide lenses for landscapes are for special effects where you want to emphasize something in the foreground by making it bigger. It is not a look that can be applied to a large number of landscape images. You must not shoot a lot of landscapes, especially not with a 10-20 on a full frame camera. Just sayin'
