I've been trying to reduce from 4 to 3 lenses, partly because the 58mm doesn't really fit well with any 4 lens combo that I can think of, and I'm looking for an excuse to buy that lensWe're taking the thread a little OT, but heck, it's all discussion
I think my prime "trios" will change with subject matter, and actually for me with primes it's almost always "foursomes" :ROTFL: . For travel, probably 18/28/50/180. For landscape, 24/50/85/180. For people/street, 28/50/105/180. Currently those are all Nikkors except my 24 and 50 which are ARTs (both exceptionally good optically on the D810). But I'm actually considering getting back the 50/1.4 G for travel -- I like the way it renders and it's a lot more compact than the ART, though the 50/1.8 I have is remarkably similar save for the 1/3rd stop. If the Nikkor 50/1.2 were AF it would be in my bag now and forevermore. But it's not, and my eyes are not as good as they used to be, and so ultimately the reason I sold it.
My four lens combo would be 21/35/85ish/135ish. I had the 180 with the D810, but to my surprise, I mostly found it too long for street and travel. 85ish could actually be either of the 60 or 105mm macros. A close focusing lens is very convenient when travelling, and I assume both of those lenses would work well with the D850.
