That is the sharpest lens that was as good as my primes. Nice range for landscapes too. No I am parting with this old gear and not piece it out but thanks for the interest.
I don't think so at this point. My real interest is to walk away from it and then decide if a higher end point and shoot is in my future.
This is my equipment that is simply getting to much to carry around being on my way past 80years.
D810 Nikon w/circa 6500 clicks
Sigma lens F mount 24-105 f4
Nikon lens 70-300 F4.5-5.6G
Tokina SD16-28Fx F2.8
Selling as I no longer live in the West nor engage in landscapes. Down sizing as too much to now carry around.
$1200 for it all and well taken care of and clean glass.
Red Rock area is a must see....so is the loop in death valley.....great photo ops at both

I followed a somewhat similar path to what you are trying to do. I had a 3200 and then went to the 5200. All the lenses I had were fine. The increase in things you do control with the 3200 over the 5200 was a challenge but also part of the fun of the upgrade. I think you would enjoy the jump as you have spent many years with the 3200.
explanation - I also have to deal with depth of focus.
Since I use a tripod, I have found that a series of exposures covering a range of shutter speeds works well.
When a person came to me on someone silly enough to suggest it to them. I asked them what they wanted to do with the camera. That question alone consumed some time. In the end I said try taking some of the park you mentioned, get them turned into prints on the Walmart sale, and then see what you think of them. Feel free to bring them with you and we can look at them. That as 5 years ago and they guy is a happy wildlife photographer.

I have a tokina 16x28 on a D810 and find it is very sharp throughout the range. It has that funky mftoaf thing but otherwise has stood me well. Used it in Iceland and Europe and the pictures were great.
Ditto....have not seen one of those for years anywhere.
Well there is always someone who "knows what they have is the best." Albeit the "best" changes quite quickly these days and frankly one of the reasons you get resistance is the old camera shop in most towns are gone. There is not the "stop and talk cameras" unless in a city large enough to survive not having the film/enlargement business to keep the going.
I first ran into the mirrorless when the Sony full frame first came out. It was "forced on me" due to my Nikon D810 was in for work and it was their loaner. I am simply still not "unhappy" with the nikon but as it gets older am looking for the time I can sell it all and afford the sony outfit I want to get. BTW the sony was much better in low light and also stabilization than the Nikon...
