[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 638987, member: 43924"] Hi Sudipto, Welcome to the forum! The question to start with is this: do you feel a need to replace all of your lenses? The Anniversary set is a collection of three great lenses but also a major investment, so you better be very sure you have a need for it. These lenses are also much heavier than what you own now, so since you say carrying two bodies is difficult for you, are you sure you want to carry these heavy zoom lenses? Moreover, your maximum focal length would be 200mm, only half of the 400mm you have now - are you sure you'll be ok with that? Lastly, if you have lenses with which you are happy now, why change anyway? If you don't like your current 50mm 1.8, that may be a good point to start. Prime lenses are almost always superior to zooms, so while Nikon's 24-70 f/2.8 is very good, you will probably be happier with the Sigma Art lens you are considering. Hyderabad has a number of photo stores, so I would suggest looking for one that carries this lens and checking it out. If you like the feel of it, go for it - its optical performance is very good!
