Saw this earlier but just now getting back to the keyboard. Like someone mentioned, Tokyo crowds and weather make swapping lenses a total nightmare for your sensor. I've tried many setups over the years and for travel, you really want something that wont fail if it gets a bit damp or dusty.

• Sony FE 24-105mm f4 G OSS is the king of reliability imo. The build quality is fantastic and that 24mm wide end is a lifesaver for cramped city streets. It is built like a tank and the sealing is top-tier.
• Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Di III VXD G2 is great for the faster aperture, but the build feels a bit more plastic compared to the Sony G glass. Tbh it is a solid lens but lacks that ruggedness. Honestly, I'd lean toward the Sony. Having that extra reach and the peace of mind knowing it is a workhorse is worth the f4 tradeoff... especially when you're shooting street and landscapes and dont want to worry about your gear.

Jumping in here... in my experience the Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD is unbeatable for one-lens travel. Check out Dustin Abbotts site for technical resolution charts before you decide.

> realized I cant keep swapping glass on the go In my experience, prioritize weather sealing. Tokyo rain is no joke and you dont want moisture hitting your sensor during a swap, honestly.

Just found this! @Reply #2 - good point! Honestly, going with one zoom totally saved my back during a trip to Osaka last year. It is amazing how much more you actually shoot with the Sony a7IV when you arent fussing with a heavy gear bag! I think I heard a rumor about price drops on those versatile zooms recently? Not 100 percent sure tho but definitely check used listings!

Can confirm this works. Did the same thing on mine and its been solid ever since.
