Akira, my new D750 copes very well with the 45P as you can see from the last batch of images  ;)

D750 + 45P
Just after sunset at the beach.
Pink sky with boat, love that shot. I wonder how a pano of that place would look like!  ::)
And of-course loved the boat shots with ropes (especially last one in very first post).

You make me wanna go back Jakov! I like the "everyday" mood you present. Walking around (on holiday) one notices the pine cones, leaves, boats, etc. Very good  :)

Thanks, Jakov!  Actually, that is a really bad news for a D750 owner!   ;D

Anirban, a 360º pano is a great idea, thank you!
Perhaps I will make a planet instead of a clasic pano :)

Sten, you need to go back! Cres is wonderful, perhaps an idea for a future NG event?
There's lots to see and the lamb is one of the best in the world (at least that is what they say).
The fig plants are everywhere including the olive trees and pine trees. Figs always remind of Cres :)

Akira, I am emotionally attached to the 45P. I am certain that there are other normal lenses that exceed the 45P in all departments apart from style :D
I am really glad and happy shooting the D750. I am yet to notice any difference in image quality compared to D4 and Df. Handheld high ISO shots are as easy.
The flip LCD screen is really nice and it did help in occasions when I wanted to shoot from Erik's heights/altitudes :)

Hee, hee...Erik's altitudes...good one  ;D

A NG event in Cres would tempt me a lot!

Jakov, one of the benefits I see in 45P is that it even makes D750, the FX DSLR, quite unobtrusive.  The current AF-S f1.8 primes are all great, but I would seriously hope for much smaller f2.8 wideangle replacements with excellent image quality (with 24mm and 20mm, I could even live with f3.5).

Akira, I wouldn't mind a wide angle pancake at all. I agree with you that it's really unobtrusive, and that the looks of such a lens put smile to the subject's faces. Everybody sees it as a joke, but it's far from it.
Having said that, I suppose the AF-S 20/1.8 can't get any smaller or lighter and is high on my priority list of lenses to buy. Another one of those "cannot justify" lenses to buy since I am enjoying the 17-35/2.8 so much. The only reason would be size and weight, hence still waiting. Knowing my consumer personality and the recent purchases of "cannot justify" gear I might not wait for too long  ::)

The main verdict of the D750 would be the way it handles the 135DC in a manner that I like to use this lens.
Yet again I don't see any drawbacks when I compared the images to the images I took with the Df or D4. Perhaps the additional amount of megapixels brought more detail as one would expect.
So yes, some flowers had to be recorded :)

Voigtländer? ;)
I really like the 40mm 2.0. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few pictures soon.

And then there is e.g. the 20mm that could fulfill your requirements - not owned by me, though.

Anirban, you are a true gentleman, thank you!

Geunther, your idea about the 20mm Voigtländer might not be too bad at all.
I wonder if anybody has experience with that lens?

Now let's merge the D750 + 135DC with my theme of boats :)

Great stuff Jakov.

Well, a three photo-stitch with the 45P and you have a 20mm   ;)

Thanks, John! A 45P pano for 20mm is an excellent idea  ;D

Erik, Cres barcas are like space ships :)
Our great trips will occur again in September, I can hardly wait!
