The Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D is a gem for capturing the small details often overlooked during outdoor excursions. From the intricate structure of wildflowers to insects perched on leaves, this lens allows you to explore a world that’s usually hidden to the naked eye. Its sharpness and true-to-life rendering make it a strong choice for nature enthusiasts who want to showcase textures and patterns up close. On the Nikon D850, the 60mm provides a balanced focal length that also doubles nicely for general-purpose photography when you want a compact setup without compromising image quality.

For more expansive and varied shooting, the AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G is an ideal walk-around lens. It covers a practical focal range suited to landscapes, environmental portraits, and even tighter shots of wildlife or architecture you might encounter on the trail. While it isn’t the fastest lens in low light, its lightweight design keeps your pack manageable compared to heavier pro zooms. On outdoor adventures, this lens complements the 60mm Micro perfectly—giving you both a wide perspective for grand scenes and the reach to capture moments without needing to swap lenses constantly.

Together, this combination makes the Nikon D850 a versatile tool for explorers who want to document both the sweeping beauty of nature and the delicate details that tell the deeper story of a place. Whether you’re crouching down to photograph a dew-covered spider web at sunrise with the 60mm or capturing a mountain range with the 24-85mm, you’ll have the flexibility to produce professional-quality images across a wide range of outdoor scenarios.
