So after having my D850 and 24-70mm F2.8 zoom for almost a month I went into my photos and looked at what focal length I am using. I am shooting 80% of my shots at 24mm. The other 10% of the shots were at 70mm (which is covered by my 70-200) and a mere handful of shots in the 50-68mm range. I think my best choice at this point is to trade the zoom in for a 24mm prime (and get a nifty 50 for backup). 

Now I need to make a decision... Nikon 24mm 1.4, Nikon 1.8 or the Sigma 1.4? Any thoughts on which is better? I am actually leaning towards either the 1.8 or the sigma. I don't know that I need the 1.4 at wide angle OFTEN. 

One concern I have is that the primes don't have stabilization... but then I wonder if you really need it either at 24mm with a lighter lens that is easier to hold?

So I have been looking for a new camera and am looking to go full frame. I am thinking about the either the D750 or D850 but I haven't had a full frame before so I am a little intimidated by the number of lenses available. I have had Micro 4/3s systems in the past so I generally know the cost and quality of that line up but no nothing about the Nikon full frame lenses. Are they going to be significantly more expensive?  

I have been shooting a lot of long exposure night photography. I also have a weird obsession with flowers... I haven't seen a flower I didn't photograph (but I am not initially going to invest in Macro lenses). I do a lot of general walk about photography and some landscapes. I have 5 dogs so I need some reach and speed for them. I am going to Costa Rica in May so will likely rent a quality Telephoto. I guess what I need is a good all around body. I don't need super sports performance unless you consider two pug puppies "sports". 

What would I be looking at for a good starter lens set? Would the D850 require more expensive lenses? The D850 seems some features that might work better for night photography... Light up buttons! I personally think I can do just fine with the D750 but my husband wants me to get a "no compromise" set up (That is why he is a keeper LOL).
