Best travel lens for the nikon d810?

For travel on the D810, I'd start with one stabilised zoom that covers wide to short telephoto. The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art is my pick, since its stabilisation helps with dim churches and interiors. If you want something simpler, the Nikon AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR does the same job with a longer reach.

Then add one small fast prime for evenings and food. The Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G ED is a good choice, and the Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G is the cheaper alternative.

Before you buy, weigh the camera with its lens, not the body alone. The travel guide explains why that matters more than most specs.
