[QUOTE="sutherland, post: 682702, member: 45360"] I don't own a D850, but I have a few primes and a D750. I would imagine what is 'great' on the D750 will be as good if not better on the D850. I own the 20mm 1.8, 28mm 1.8, and 50mm 1.8. In my honest and humble opinion, the 50mm 1.8 at $216 is fantastic value and deserves a consideration. It's not my 'favorite' focal length, but it's a nice entry to Nikon's FX Primes. My favorite 'walkaround' prime is the 28mm 1.8. I find the lens to be remarkably sharp and the focal length to be fantastic for street and landscape. In my opinion, it just gives a bit more 'space' and 'story' then a 35mm. I use my 20mm 1.8 when I am setting out for Landscape and know what it is I am aiming to shoot, otherwise, I will opt for the versatility of the 28mm 1.8.
