Personally, I'd take a fast Macro lens. Something in the 60-100mm, f/2-f/2.8 range.

Went there Tuesday. Used just my Canon 80D with 18-135 lens. Could have used a wider angle lens like the 10-18mm. But still got fabulous pics.

If you have a 24-70mm f2.8 or thereabouts on a full frame body and enjoy the flowers and the images later....”

I do everything with 2.0 crop. Way easier to carry.

I'm still trying to figure out why you need a 200mm or a 300mm for a flower show. You taking pictures from the parking lot?
Obviously, you've never been to the Philadelphia Flower Show.

Perhaps take the lightest with a wide zoom, 18-140. And I'd have a wide angle, say 10-20, in my pocket. The other pocket would be the macro lens. Most likely you won't be allowed a tripod but a monopod might be ok. ( I have one that doubles as a walking stick)
No tripods or monopods allowed. Multiple lenses are impractical in such a large crowd.

Not sure why a macro lens would not be the first on the list? Have fun at the show.

Compassion??? I am talking about a guy who has stated he gone to over 20 Philadelphia flower shows and he asks what he should be using to take pictures.
Do you not find that a bit strange?

rmorrison1116 - I’d ignore all the snarky comments and go with the lighter, low light and surprisingly sharp D7200. That would be a great choice. Have a photogenic day! Regards, Ralph.
I took the D7200 and it did a great job. Too bad the actual show was kind of disappointing, probably the second worst I can remember in a very long time.
The butterfly exhibit was pretty cool. This butterfly was having a rough day.
