I love the 18 to 140 lens. Someone mentioned an 18 to 400. I tried one and returned it. Stick with 18 to 140 and add a 200 to 400 or something comparable. You will be much happier.
The Tamron 18-400 is one of the world’s great lenses.

I bought my 18-140 with my D5600 and rairly take it off the camera. I'm no pro but I find it sharp effective. Not the fastest lens out there but the camera takes care of me with VR and handles higher ISO without too much noise. In short I love it.

According to dxo-mark it is the sharpest lens in the category!
Wait, it's sharper than the 80-400mm? (And by the way, how is it in the same category as the 80-400?)

It's my favorite travel lens. As others have said here, it's a little short on the telephoto end, but it provides a great balance of weight, sharpness, and zoom range. If I need to travel light, I use my 18-55, but the 18-140 is a bit faster at focal lengths longer than 18mm, and of course it has the greater reach.
I'd say its greatest weakness is distortion. You can see how the steps at the bottom of my attached photo appear curved. It's easy enough to fix in post, but it's still a weakness.

I had one and now regrett selling it. That can be considered a positive review.

Sorry. "Regret".

The 18-140 is an excellent lens. Above 100mm sharpness begins to be lost, especially above 120mm. It was my workhorse DX walkaround lens until I got the 16 - 80 and the AF-P 70-300 DX.

Most distortion should be fixed if you enable AUTO DISTORTION in the camera menu. All wide range zoom lenses have barrel and pincushion distortion at the extremes of their range so I'm not sure "weakness" is quite the right word.

That works for my D7100 but not for my D200 and D50 -- so, "weakness."
