I enjoy shooting wildlife with D500. My next camera will be D850, that I will use primarily for landscapes . For lenses I am thinking Sigma ART: 20 30 50/1.4 What do you think about my not-at-all experienced idea?

Do you mean 35f/1.4? I have that one and love it. My old boss uses the 20mm or 24mm Art lens for aurorae and night sky photography and claimed it was insanely sharp, with great coma correction. So those are probably good choices if you don't mind somewhat heavier lenses.

right, that is 35 f1.4. If I just go for landscapes without those long lenses, 2,3 of these lenses wouldn't be that heavy.

I have the 20, 24, 35 and 50 Art lenses and each of these lenses are superb. I have started a thread specific for Sigma Art lenses relating to the D850.

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1513352/0

The weight of the 24 and 35 Art are fine as they are f/1.4 lenses. The 50 Art is marginally heavier but still it is one of the best 50mm's lenses out there. I keep this alongside my 58G for the different styles of rendering. The 20 Art is heavy and larger so the Nikon 20/1.8G may suit you better.

I have both the 20 Art and 20/1.8G for landscapes and I prefer the 20 Art just the ability for the lens to draw in colors from nowhere.

Thanks for the good info.
One more lens: Sigma 18-35 f18 Art. What do you think about it?

Originally I was caught off guard too as this is specifically for APS-C sensor based cameras.

You caught it. First I thought about my D500, but then I wouldn't buy this lens for that camera.

In having owned the D850 for about 6 weeks, I bought the following in order to upgrade my wide end:

Nikon 16-35mm F4
Nikon 24mm 1.8G
Nikon 35mm 1.8G.

Reason being is that light and fast is the order of the day in the work I do often on climbs, skiing and hikes at elevations of 9,000-14,000 feet. Nothing pisses off ski patrol more than being laggy due to heavy gear on an outing.

I also don't get the benefit of fast repair turn around with NPS in using lenses made by Sigma, so no dice on those options.

I got the lenses yesterday, the 24 while amazing in sharpness, needs go to Nikon for an adjustment since it needed a +20 on both the 750 and 850. The 35 is fine but man...the 16-35 is going back, my 20 year old 17-35 just puts it to shame and in doing further research, it just does not clean up in the corners.
