Cheers guys, think I shall order tomorrow. Also going to shoot for a 16-35 f4 next month as it seems an excellent wide angle with 77mm thread so will suit my 24-70 and 70-200.

16-35 is a cracking lens.

Seems so from the reviews, and costs £530 where I live. That and a 24-70mm for £1330 seems like a pretty good bargain to me!

I wonder if the 24mm will be able to compete with the Sigma version. Sigma have been consistently matching and even beating Nikon primes and significantly undercutting their prices with the Art lenses.

My Sigma Art 35mm is now rapidly becoming my favourite lens of all time, the photos it produces are so good with minimum effort it almost feels like cheating. The family Christmas photos I've produced this year in combination with the D750 (without flash) are stunning, I barely used my 70-200.

Another country that doesn't ship to UK so not going to be available to you I'm afraid! Sadly I went away for Christmas an the special price ended, so its back up to £880.

Still very tempted so I can ditch my 24-120, which I have never been happy with since I got it.
