You dont need one imo buddy. If anything sell both and get a real top notch 35 or 50?

A bit more detail about the lenses and camera would help.
If bout have a diafragma of 1.4 and it are high end lenses than you are fine.
Maybe you can add a 80mm lens

I would agree with the previous comments that you have two decent size lenses already.
But if they are "consumer" or "entry level" grade prime lenses then you might get small benefit by upgrading to "pro level" lenses.
But it will be a significant price hike and maybe will not be a significant gain if it's just for fishing photos.

An upgrade will only be worth it if you have a creative eye behind it. Self takes and stock shots aren't worth it. 35,40 or 50mm are ample.

Hello I have a nikon d750 lens are 50mm 1.4f and 35mm 1.4f, also looking for a wide angle lens for some landscape/scenic shots

Zeiss Batis 18mm, go for it, hang the expense!

If it's for more than just fishing photos, 85mm is a nice focal length for portraits, but also can get some unique shots on the streets focusing in on details. For landscape I'd be looking between 16mm and 24mm.

If you want to improve over the 1.4's you might want to think about upgrading the body to full frame. Not cheap though!

That body is full frame!
I'd hope someone with 2k worth of kit knows what they want tbh
I'd want an ultra wide zoom and a 70-200 for a high quality versatile kit

I'd say that you own a camera and lenses to die for! Surely you cannot get much of an improvement without going to the older (1978!) Nikon 50mm f1.2 and even then the improvement is likely to be minimal.
Link to Ken Rockwell.

I had one briefly but nearly had a prolapse when I realised what it would cost to build a kit like I've got in mft, think it was 4 times the price, 5times the weight and obviously much bulkier.
I do love the sigma art Primes tho, I might have been happy for a while with just the 85

Something around 85 mil would make a great portrait lens for taking pics of the wife, kids etc on a full frame body. Might not be ideal for fishing as you would need a bit of back space to get the best out of it.
There have been lots of focus issues reported in pro circles with ART range.
I would also look at wide angle such at the nikon 16-53 or more expensive 17-35. If scenic shots are your thing, that is.

Agree I've got an old 85mm 1.8 AF-D for my D700 and it does some nice portrait shots - if we are talking real portraits and not fishy shots. A 105mm macro lens can double up as a portrait lens if you want a macro lens.
