It's not the lightest, but very versatile. I am selling mine purely due to preferring primes and the shallow DOF. I bought mine for travel and it served well.
What lenses do you currently have?
How about the 24-85mm VR, great lens, super sharp, reviews say sharper wide open than the 24-120mm, i keep thinking about a 24-120 myself for the extra reach but £250 used for the 24-85mm made it a no brainer, most reviews when testing both side by side say the only real benefit of the 24-120mm is the extra reach
Can I get this straight you're wanting to sell your D750 to buy another D750 with 24-120mm? Are you sure you're not going to lose out, maybe it's worth looking at a used 24-120mm? What would you get for the D750 2nd hand, £1200-1300? The D750 with 24-120mm is £2300 meaning it'd cost you £1000-1100 to swap. Why not just buy a 2nd hand 24-120mm f4 for £550 and save yourself £500? The 24-120mm with D750 isn't the lightest combo either, so if you're looking at swapping because of your hand I'd say this isn't the best option, and a CSC might be a better choice altogether rather than having it as a second system? Alternatively why not look at a cheaper CSC like the A6000?
Yeah, why would you sell a grey d750 to lose money on and then buy the kit when you can get the lens for 400 quid. Even if you got a grand for it it wouldn't make sense.
a6000 and 1650 is very good as an out and about at only 429.
Hadn't thought about the 24-85 VR Gary, I trust your judgement so will look further into the lens. I was thinking the extra @ 120mm would be useful
.
To what I have now it will cost me £130.00 to swap to a new D750 and the F4 lens. If I sold the lens on I would be up on my money, if it wasn't suitable.
It will cost you 130 how? Your grey d750 can't be worth more than 1k, that's still a remaining 360 quid to add and the 200ish loss on your d750 on what you paid. So 560 down.
Trust me Twist I know what I'm doing. I dont sell on here as theres other buyers out there where you can make more money. As you know, I have had a bit of Fuji gear and sold elsewhere, where on here people were doing fire sales and I was getting a bit more for my gear. There's other places to here and ebay!
If you want the fine details I will PM you in the morning. Food is ready.
I was more referring to DOF. The 24-85mm stops down pretty quickly and a stop difference at 85mm can make quite a difference in DOF, let alone f4 at 120mm.Not really an issue with the ISO capabilities of the D750 and dont forget the 24-85mm is f/3.5 at the shorter end, swings and roundabouts.
But that's swapping UK for grey and grey will lose more.As Gary says the 24-85 is an option, much lighter and optically really good. If the D750 is UK stock then £1200-£1300 and then a new D750 & 24-120 from Panamoz is £1363 via Bank Transfer so a good swap!

Who says he told them it was a grey, if i sold mine on Ebay i wouldnt mention it was grey, why would i, its a secondhand camera and as such it makes zero difference where it came from, (they all came off the exact same production line) theres no warranty with Nikon on used equipment either wayYou must know some real muppets if they're willing to pay more than £1k for grey

I cant see any of the dealers selling D750's telling their customers theyre selling grey cameras
Of course if asked i would tell them if they asked

Lol, in my neck of the woods that's a light hearted comment, but it's not the first time my comments have been misinterpreted And yes I read about selling other lenses, but when working out cost effectiveness you need to way up the cost of selling your D750 only. If selling your D750 and buying a new one with lens works out better than buying a 2nd hand 24-110mm then fair enough. I understand you will then offset some of this cost by selling your other lenses.Before you insult people perhaps you should go back and see what I have written. Read slowly and it may help you digest the posts.
In particular this part of my original post "I'm thinking of selling my current D750 body and some lenses and re-buying with this lens" In case you feel I have altered my original post (3672) you will see the above written when Chris quoted me in the following post (3673).
Also, I have informed the purchaser my camera is Grey.
Your comments probably get misinterpreted because of things like ive highlighted in the quoted text, that and the fact you don't actually take time to read other posts properly.Lol, in my neck of the woods that's a light hearted comment, but it's not the first time my comments have been misinterpreted And yes I read about selling other lenses, but when working out cost effectiveness you need to way up the cost of selling your D750 only.

Hi Swansea - just a bit confused about why you would sell the d750 + lenses to buy another d750 + lens . Whay not keep your d750 , sell spare lenses and purchase the new lens you require . What have I missed here ? Is your 750 causing a problem or ?Before you insult people perhaps you should go back and see what I have written. Read slowly and it may help you digest the posts.

More and more convinced I now have a backfocus issue after getting the flare issue fixed. Payday today, so picked up the Sigma 24mm Art to complete my range of primes, and yep, +20 AF finetune needed..
Myself and Declan Gallen had the same problem. Mine wasn't fixable, even by Nikon, it came back as bad as it went !
I've shot a couple of cycling events this past week and I'm getting a much lower hit rate than before using AF-C. Not sure if it's just down to the light, the new UV filter or since getting it back from having the flare issue fixed. I'm paranoid it's the latter
Mine's really obvious on the 58mm and 24mm, at AF set to 0, the focus point is a good 6" infront of the actual target!
Before I sent mine in it was perfect apart from them saying it was part of the flaring issue batch. I'm not surprised the AF is affected as they move the module
Both mine were fixed after 'fixing' the flare issue. One of my bodies was so bad that I couldn't use anything above 85mm for any type of confident focussing. I borrowed a known good 70-200 for a wedding and didn't use it because the focussing was so bad!
What was frustrating me was everyone one here going on about how damn good their D750 focussed! I was going to sell and go back to canon.

I've not tried this, might give it a go next time.Im amazed how good the group AF mode is for fast action and BIF. AF is almost instant with the Nikkor 80-400 vr2 even in poor light and tracking is excellent.
I assume you're not going to settle for that? If they can't fix it the least they should do is replace it IMO.Myself and Declan Gallen had the same problem. Mine wasn't fixable, even by Nikon, it came back as bad as it went !

Did you mean front focus ? + 20 would indicate quite a bit of FRONT not back focus.More and more convinced I now have a backfocus issue after getting the flare issue fixed. Payday today, so picked up the Sigma 24mm Art to complete my range of primes, and yep, +20 AF finetune needed..
