Nikon is offering a series of bundles here in India for the D850, all very competitively priced. Basically, it is either the body alone, or the kit (with the 24-120mm f4) paired with any one of the latest versions of 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm f2.8 or 200-500mm f5.6, six bundles in all. All bundles have the excellent 85mm f1.8 thrown in as a sweetener. I have ordered the Nikon D850 kit with the 200-500mm (and the 85mm) today, for delivery on Monday. The prices in India, if all the items (D850 kit+200-500+85) purchased individually would come to the equivalent US$7000. Nikon have priced the bundle at US$5500, and Nikon have agreed to give it to me at a 10% discount, for US$5000. I can sell the 24-120 and 85 at close to the equivalent of US$ 1900 here, which means that I am left with the Nikon D850 and the one lens I wanted, the 200-500mm, for less than the cost of the body alone from B&H. Well worth having a look if anyone is interested in the Nikon D850, and similar bundles are being offered in your home market!
