I'm actually so fed up with carrying a bag full of glass every time I want to take a decent photo, it's honestly ruining the experience for me. I spent the whole weekend hiking in the Rockies and I missed so many shots because I was fumbling around with lens caps and swapping between my wide angle and my telephoto. It is just too much stuff to manage and I'm tired of my back hurting by the end of the day. But I'm also super pumped because I finally have a budget of around $1300 to just buy one do-it-all lens before my big trip to Italy in three weeks. I want something that is sharp enough for landscapes but has enough reach so I dont feel like I'm missing out on details. I've been staring at reviews of the Sigma 24-70 and the Tamron 35-150 but that one looks huge and I'm worried it'll be the same problem all over again. I just need one lens that can live on my A7III forever and handle everything from tight streets to distant mountains. What is the best versatile zoom lens for any Sony camera that actually delivers on quality without being a total brick?
