Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX
Super affordable classic lens ideal for portraits and events.
Pros
-Great value
-Performs well in low light
Cons
-Limited range
Specifications
This 35mm aperture lens offers tidy dimensions and high quality optics. Seven diaphragm blades make up its length. It’s lens is built with 8 elements in 6 groups, with one aspherical lens. The advanced optical construction is present at the lens’ corners for ideal image sharpness at edges. It’s Silent Wave Monitor offers a smooth and quiet autofocus. The bokeh with this addition is much greater than other lenses and portraits stand out due to the shallow depth of field.
Review
This Nikon 35mm f/1.8G is actually the most affordable of Nikons prime selection of lenses. The vibrancy and sharpness of this lens helps it add a special character to portraits, certain events and particularly settings with low light. This is particularly great for getting close to the subject and collecting a relatively large amount of the given scene in the frame-therefore it is also suited well for travel and street photography.
Nikon AF-S FX 24-70mm f/2.8
Professional standard zoom lens with fast aperture and competitive corner sharpness
Pros
-Top notch optics
-Super fast autofocus
Cons
-Expensive
-Limited availability
-Heavy
Specifications
The Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 is a fast wide angle, medium telephoto lens. It contains the Nikon standard of its class-Silent Wave Monitor-for a supreme autofocusing mechanism. It’s Internal Focus makes for use and facility of use when seeking to disturb the surrounding scene as little as possible when shooting. Further, it features a Nano Crystal Coat to prevent any disturbing effects of ghosting and flare. This is a stellar construction of 15 elements in 11 groups. This is constituted of 3 extra low dispersion elements and 3 aspherical lens elements.
Review
This modest range telephoto lens with wide angle composition is suited for a great range of uses. If one is up for dealing with the weight and handling, this is one of the most professionally suited everyday lenses and a great match with the advanced quality of Nikon D750 controls. Many reviewers say do not fit this lens with DX models but we believe that applies to the cheaper digitals such as the D40, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000 and D5100.
Nikon 70-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6 ED VR
Action packed photographical lens for the sensation seeking and uncanny creative
Pros
-Easy handling
-Distinctive vibration reduction modes
-Great bokeh
Cons
-Can be tricky in low light conditions
-Sharpness inconsistencies at longer ranges
Specifications
The Nikon 70-300mm is a high quality telephoto lens with a 4.3x zoom. It’s range extends to 105-450mm when attached to a DX camera such as the D300. It contains a 9 blade rounded diaphragm and 17 glass elements in 12 groups. Of these there are 2 extra dispersion glass elements. The autofocus switch is facilitated by the use of a silent wave monitor for easy transitions between manual and auto focus. Additionally, the use of lens mounted flash accessories and circular polarizing filters is provided by internal focusing with a non-rotating front element and consistent lens length. Further, its vibration reduction allows for a shutter speed that is 2.5 stops faster.
Review
This lens provides great value for sports, nature and wildlife shots. It is convenient to handle with a large zoom ring for easy transitions across its range. Though at the further end, where apertures reach its max of f/5.6, it can be difficult to establish focus in low light environments. And though the lens performs well for lower DSLRs at the longer ranges, its image sharpness decreases a bit around 300mm. It is important to note the two different vibration reduction modes on this lens-normal and active. Normal mode is for typical, stationary handheld photography. Active mode is for shooting from a moving platform such as a vehicle. For tripod shots vibration reduction should be completely turned off. It finds additional value in the quality of its bokeh and is almost on par with some of the pro lenses. Thus this is a great option for action packed photography with a touch of sensationalism.

Landscape & the Built Environment
The Nikon D750 has great lens options for landscape and the built environment. The built environment consists of municipal shots, architecture and interior design. Take a look at:
Nikon 24-120mm f/4 VR
Versatile and high zoom all-in-one lens at a low price
Pros
-Low cost for its versatility
-Great range
Cons
-Distortion
-Not ideal in low light
Specifications
The Nikon 24-120mm f/4 is an all-in-one lens with both wide angle and telephoto properties. It has a lens construction of 17 glass elements in 12 groupings, which includes 2 extra dispersion elements and 3 aspherical elements. It has a maximum magnification ratio of 0.24x and a minimum focusing distance of 0.45m.
Review
This lens will serve most purposes for the average traveler or casual user perfectly fine. But from a more critical viewpoint, a couple drawbacks to this lens are it’s distortion present throughout its focal range and its lackluster performance in low light. Faster pro zooms and primes such as the above 24-70mm f/2.8 do not have the same level of issue with this.
Portraits
The generally low light shots of portraits and special events are a great fit with a few of the D750 lenses. Be sure to check out:
Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art
High optical performance portrait lens with an edge
Pros
-Amazing optical performance
-Great bokeh
Cons
-Heavy
Specifications
The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 contains 4 super low dispersion elements, one aspherical element and one fluoride low dispersion element. These make up the 13 glass elements in 11 groups. It has a magnification ratio of 0.4x and a considerable minimum focusing distance of 0.3m. It is a bit heavy in its construction-weighing at a considerable 980g.
Review
This lens competes with the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 but due to its greater maximum aperture and the specifications of the Sigma Art designation, the Sigma 35mm is surely a superior portrait lens. These are mainly purposed for multiplicity of use, technical adaptability and sensational effect-even if such enhancements compromise handling and compactness. For the photographer seeking the most sensational and intimate of portrait shots, this is your match.
Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4
Legitimately one of Nikon’s best lenses all around
Pros
-Great range
-Amazing low light performance
Cons
-Less expensive portrait option could suit most uses

This medium telephoto lens has a fully packed optical construction. It boasts some of the brand’s advanced features such as Nano Crystal Coat and Precision Glass Molding. The Nano Crystal Coat is a low refractive coating that clearest and most high quality images by greatly curbing flare effects and ghosting. It consists of a range of microscopic Nano particles and is much more successful than genetic coating materials. This special treatment prevents light from contaminating the lens diagonally and it resolves ghosting resulting from red light. Precision Glass Moulding is a special type of construction of the aspherical lens elements. It basically heats optical glass to soften it and configure it in an mold containing heat resistant properties. This administers key properties to the glass without polishing and grinding. As far as lens construction it is composed of 10 glass elements in 9 respective groupings. It has a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.12x and a minimum focusing distance of 0.85m.
Review
The advanced features described above legitimately qualify this lens for the utmost complex and creative types of portrait photography. It’s shallow depth of field and low light performance at its max aperture of f/1.4 fully accommodate the best in the range of portrait, studio, wedding and other special event photography.
Sports & Wildlife
We typically separate the Sports and Wildlife categories for a more specific analysis. However, we suggest a single telephoto lens to fit the Nikon D750. Have a look at:
Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8
Heavy duty wide angle lens with great optics
Pros
-Great wide angle optics
-Good bokeh
Cons
-Heavy

The Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 has a lens construction of 14 elements in 11 groups. These include 2 extra dispersion elements, 3 aspherical elements and a Nano Crystal Coat. With its 9 blade rounded diaphragm it is built to produce great bokeh. It has a minimum focusing distance of 0.28m and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.14x. This lens is notably heavy at 1kg.
Review
In pursuing top notch wide angle shots with the Nikon D750, a photographer should surely consider this lens. Although it is a heavy option, the trouble may be worth it in order to produce a shot with high maximum aperture and the bokeh to match it.
Nikon 16-35mm f/4 VR
Great value wide angle lens that checks all of the boxes
Pros
-Great value
-Top tier optical performance
-Great handling
Cons
Specifications
The Nikon 16-35mm f/4 is a highly specialized wideangle gadget. It’s Silent Wave Motor, Vibration Reduction, Internal Focusing and Nano Coat technology bring a few unique properties. Perhaps most notably is its manual-priority autofocus that enables to shift from autofocus to manual use with basically no time lag-regardless of the particular AF mode. This allows for a truly unique fusion of the properties of both modes-fast focusing coupled with fine adjustments. Also its Internal Focusing allows for minimum focusing distance of 0.29m. Add this mechanic to its efficient weight of 680g. The lens is constituted of 17 glass elements in 12 groups, containing 2 extra dispersion elements and 3 aspherical elements.
Review
This wideangle lens produces impressive center sharpness and quality corner resolution. This is particularly noticeable at smaller apertures. This lens actually holds up to more expensive professional grade options such as the above 14-24mm f/2.8 in image quality, making it an offer of truly great value. Most amateur photographers would be entirely pleased with this wide angle so say to give it a shot, especially if you can find it at a lower price.
Small and Minute Detail
Macro shots are those intended to convey minute detail. These include those for scientific and artistic purposes as well as close up shots of nature and insects. These lenses magnify smaller objects to real life size. Consider:
Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED VR Micro
Truly the only considerable macro option to attach to the Nikon D750
Pros
-Amazing fit to to Nikon D750
-Great range
-Suitable to portraits
Specifications
The Nikon 105mm f/2.8G is an exceptional macro lens with several advanced qualities. It’s lens is made up of 14 glass elements in 12 groups. These include one extra dispersion element and a Nano Crystal Coat. It features a maximum reproduction ratio of 1 and a closest focusing distance of 0.314m. It is somewhat heavy at 790g. Additionally it is equipped with its Silent Wave Motor, VR II (Vibration Reduction) technology and efficient Internal Focus.
Review
This lens is entirely qualified as a suitable macro lens when attached to the Nikon D750. The vibration reduction on this lens is supreme so handheld it is better than most other lenses. With a larger aperture, the f/2.8 also excels alongside the f/4 version when attached to an advanced body such as the D750. Additionally, we do not recommend a lower focal length or less specified macro lens for the D750.
