Check out a sling style camera strap. Adjusted properly it minimizes the weight on your neck. At least I think so.
I would agree with this. I like Op-tech straps and have found it much easier to carry cameras slung over the shoulder rather than around the neck. You can get one on Amazon for around $20.00. This will really help with weight.

Going to Israel for 8 days this November. I need to take a wide angle to medium telephoto zoom with me. I will be using a crop sensor D7200. Need something light since I'll be carrying it all day. The ones I have are too heavy to lug around all day. F4 or better. Thanks in advance for your ideas....
24-120 is all you need

Only take the Nikon 18-200.

The Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 is a great lens at a great price for APSc ! 24 is not wide enough IMO.

I am not the OP. I am taking what I stated. The same kit that I used in Japan last year. I do not need reommendations to purchase a new camera. I think you lost track of the conversation.

I do sincerely apologize if my reply offended you. As I stated at the start of my offending reply, "I can't answer your question as you asked it." I have no knowledge of the lenses you were inquiring about. I simply offered a description of how I solved the problem when I visited the same area, at the same time of year last year. I did state my experience with the lens I found to be most useful.
Once again, I apologize.

Again, I did not ask a question.

Two mm difference between the Sigma 17-70 and the 18-200. Plus the 18-200 has a much greater telephoto advantage that the OP is looking for.
17-70 is 25mm to 105 on an APS
18-200 is 27mm to 300 mm on a APS
2 mm is not that great of difference, the OP is looking for telephoto reach. That is why I recommended it.

Oops, I think I may see the problem. My original "quote reply" quoted the wrong person. I was responding to the original post. My mistake. Rooky error.
