Going to the Galapagos mid-end of May.
Have a Nikon Z6 and a Z50.
Leaning a bit to the Z50 as a weight saver while touring, as well as taking part in activities.
I have a 16-50, 18-140, and a 50-250 lenses.
What do you guys recommend?
Many thanks

The consensus from March 2022 was the full-frame (or equivalent) of 24mm to 200mm: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-732874-1.html

Most guides can get you very close to wild life. When I go I like to take just one lens that will do most of the work. If it were me I would take the 18-140 on the Z6. If the 18-140 is a FF lens.

The 18-140 should be sufficient. The wildlife have no fear of humans and you will be able to get very close. Good luck and have fun!

If you are on a cruise boat, make sure to keep your camera out of your air conditioned space. If not, the lens will get foggy when you go out to the hot tropical environment and you’ll have to wait to take pictures. I found out the hard way.
