Ah, I assumed when you said you had a 50 it was one of those.
No sorry its a DX. So I will be replacing the lenses I have but prioritising the wide angle lens first.

Not afaikYeah likewise, I don’t think Nikon do a 50mm dx do they?

Everyone has their own opinions on this but my opinion is why buy a FF camera and not use the full sensor, at least for the majority of time? If you’re going to use DX lenses then you’d have been better sticking with a DX body getting the best out of both lens and body.
For what it’s worth the 35mm f1.8G on the D3400 gives you 10mpix sharpnes/detail, the 50mm f1.8D and 50mm f1.8G give you 19 and 17 mpix respectively on the D750. I would guess that the 35mm dx on the D750 will give you a max 10mpix, maybe less.
Sharpness isn’t everything but 10mpix isn’t great and certainly not getting the best out of FF.

Well the D750 will still have advantages such as a better AF system so being as you have it I would still use it now that you have it. But as twist suggests, sell your dx lenses and get some of the older cheaper D FX lenses for now .I geuss I will just keep using my DX body then untill I replace my lenses
May as well have stuck with the crop then because now you're only using part of the full frame sensor.It uses only the middle section of the sensor instead of the full thing. But yes it does show vignetting but obviously that can be corrected in post.
This isn't technically true, I aren't going to upgrade all lenses as some will be just as suitable

Unless very limited for space, I would use 85-150mm on FF for that... one of the few primes I own is a Zeiss 85/1.4.I already have a couple of other lenses for other uses, the 50mm would be used for full body portrait work potentially.

When I bought my D750 I started out with the 28-105mm D lens and 50mm f1.8g (which was £100 new when I bought it) and gradually upgraded over the years.
I also believe your 50mm is an FX lens as I’m pretty sure Nikon don’t do a 50mm dx lens.
What is it?The 50mm isn't a nikon lens but is DX
Hey everyone,
So I have recently upgraded from Nikon D3500 to full frame Nikon D750.
I currently have a 35mm dx format lens that will work on my new FX camera but I am wondering if I should be buying a 50mm FX lens instead? Obviously the 50mm FX lens will be full frame so be better for low light, I assume, as it will use all of the sensor instead of just the middle.
Does anyone know if the quality of an image taken with a 50mm lens full frame is much different to a 35mm lens in crop sensor format?
Kind Regards
Joe
Edited as seems I wasn't getting the information I was looking for.
I would just keep the DX body for your DX lenses until you have the FX lenses you need. DX lenses aren't much fun on FX, with a letterboxed viewfinder and a downgrade from 24 to 10 megapixels. The 50mm 1.8 G is an obvious choice for under £200. With a D750, you also have the option of using the older 'screwdriver' AF/AF-D lenses, which are often inexpensive but still high quality, though they won't autofocus on your D3500. All the Nikon 50mm lenses are very good, and you can find the 50mm 1.8 D for under £100 (£125 new). The 50mm 1.4 D I use is still an excellent performer on the D800, and can be found for less than the 1.8 G. If you want a standard zoom, the 28-105 is nice and goes for under £150. If your budget is tight, you can pick up a decent 28-80 or 28-100 for under £50.
Well yes but who would really do that? You’d either use DX mode or crop it out in post, either way it’ll enlarge the noise and make it more apparent.
Oddly, the 1.4 D apparently focuses faster than the 1.4G, according to people who have compared both. I have the 1.4 D and it's certainly no slouch.The older 50mm f/1.8 screw driven AF lens used to be an absolute bargain. Slightly slower to AF than the newer versions but still faster than I could ever manage reliably when MFing!
