[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 474425, member: 9240"] 24-120mm almost never sees time off a body - either on the D750 or D610 constantly. From street to landscape to portraits, it works for all of them with rare exception. Unless you shoot primarily wildlife that's my recommendation. Wildlife? 70-200mm is a little short for wildlife on FX, but on the D7100 it's adequate so that's what I use for that. Sigma 150-500mm works OK, but if I was going from scratch I'd get a 150-600mm (in your case the Sigma Contemporary or Tamron as the Sigma Sport is beastly heavy). Others? I had a 28-300mm that I bought early on in my D7000 years before I really understood what a cropped sensor was (wasn't wide enough for an all purpose walkaround). I sold it to finance the D800 and am kicking myself. It's not a "[B][I]Great!![/I][/B]" lens, but it's more than [I]just good enough[/I] to make it an only lens for a while, particularly if you're on a budget. It suffers badly from creep when you're walking around and forget to lock it, but it was solid as a shoot for me on a DX camera. Alas, I never shot with it on an FX so I can't comment on just how soft it might be on the edges. [/QUOTE]
