The new copies should have the latest firmware, so no need to send them in if that is the case. My 35 VC worked with the tap console right out of the box, but it didn't need any tuning and the ...

I have never used the 45 VC, but I really like my 35 VC, which is excellent.

Just my experience, but this was not the issue with the 35 Art lenses I tried. They were inconsistent even at the same distance and subject, so no AF tuning (dock or in camera) would solve the ...

I have tried the Nikon 35 f/1.8G ED (FX version), NIkon 35 f/1.4G, Sigma 35 f/1.4 Art and Tamron 35 f/1.8 VC. I shoot events and portraits with a D750. Here is my take- Nikon 35mm f/1.8G ED- Sharp ...

I would add the 35 and 85 primes, which should fit right in your budget and compliment the zoom when you want faster / lighter primes for low light and portraits. I would also consider the Tamron ...

Best flash? Have a look here for the best system. https://www.adorama.com/g/r2-family-products

I am also interested to see the performance of this lens with TCs. I may pick up one up based on these reports.

I agree, I would sell the 70-200 and maybe the 50. I would keep the f/1.8 primes as you value a lightweight system. In fact, with the f/1.8 primes, I would just get a D750 and use that with them.

I agree that the 70-200E can cover this range of focal lengths well, which is the reason I supplemented it with a few wider primes (20, 35 and 58mm) to round out my kit. I may pick up a 105 f/1.4E ...

If I didn't have a 70-200, I would certainly consider the Tamron G2, but I don't see a reason to switch from the VR II. So that leaves if it is worth to upgrade to the new Nikon 70-200E FL, which ...

I upgraded to the 70-200 E FL (sold a Tamron 70-200 VC, but not G2). I definitely notice the nicer rendering and bokeh on the new Nikon, which is nice for portraits. When I purchased the new ...

Coming from Canon (and their 600-EX RT flashes), I was surprised at the lack of good radio TTL flash setup for Nikon, and then when it was finally released it requires add on units and only works ...

I was looking for a 35mm lens to replace my 35 f/1.8G ED. I tried the 35 f/1.4G and my experience was similar to yours. I opted to go with the Tamron 35mm f/1.8 VC, which also renders nicely but ...

Good point about using 1.2 crop mode with the 35. I pair mine with a 58 f/1.4.

I would keep the 45 along with the 35 and 85 as I also find the jump from 35 to 85 a bit much at times. I was considering the same decision and opted to add the Nikon 58mm f/1.8 to my 35 VC, 20 ...

I think the rendering is a bit better and no focus breathing on the Nikon, but that of course comes with a much higher price. Fro opted to keep the Nikon, but recommends the Tamron. Already bought ...

I have owned the Tamron 70-200 VC (generation prior to the G2) and now own the new Nikon 70-200 E FL. If money is no object, hard to beat the new Nikon 70-200 E FL, otherwise, the Tamron G2 would ...

I agree. I have owned several 35mm lenses for Canon and more recently for Nikon. I owned the 35 f/1.8G and while it performed very admirably and was sharp, it just didn't render as well as other ...

Nice photos and model. What aperture did you shoot at? I just picked up this lens a few weeks ago and it hasn't come off my D750 yet.

Maybe try the Tamron 85 VC.
