I wanted a lens on the D750 for 'pick up and go', not too heavy and with VR as I've spoiled a couple of shots with camera shake using the prime 50mm (should've used the tripod!). Now got a Nikkor 24-85mm F3.5-4.5G ED VR which is nice to carry about. I have the 24-120 F4 but it's a handful for walkabout and the larger filters cost more.
These full frame DSLRs need careful handling below 1/50th and VR helps a lot.
