Honestly i am just so done with carrying a huge bag of glass everywhere I go it is literally ruining my vacation in Kyoto right now. I thought I was being smart by bringing three different primes to get the best quality but I am spending more time digging through my backpack and swapping lenses than actually looking at the temples and i am terrified i am going to drop one of them in a crowd.

Today I missed a perfect shot of a geisha in Gion because i had my 85mm on and she was too close and by the time i fumbled around for the 35mm she was gone and i just wanted to throw my camera in the river. Im using a Z6II and the sensor is already getting spots because of how many times i have to open it up in the wind and dust and my neck is killing me from the weight of the bag. I need one lens that can just stay on the body 90% of the time because i cant do this anymore.

I have a budget of about $1100 left for this trip and I need to find something before I head to Tokyo next week. Is the 24-200mm actually any good or is the quality gonna be total trash compared to what im used to? Or should I look at the 24-120mm f4 S? I need something that can handle a bit of everything from wide landscapes to street shots without me having to stop every five minutes to play tetris with my gear.

I am just so anxious that I am gonna get home and realize half my photos are blurry or have dust spots because I was rushing to switch things out. What is actually the most versatile thing I can buy for a Nikon body that wont make me regret leaving my primes in the hotel safe? I just want to enjoy the trip and stop worrying about my kit every single second...
