My wife and I are going to spend a few days in Key West.I'm trying to decide if I will need to take any lens other than my 16 to 80. I do have 2 powerful zoom lenses but I'm not crazy about carrying all that weight. Do you think I can get by with my 16 to 80 m m? Many thanks for your responses.
If you are driving or will rent a car on arrival, why not take the 70-200? You don't have to lug it if you don't want to but it will be available if you see that you need it. I've gone both ways, but if I have a car in which to store my gear, it goes with me.
I want a trip to Key West one of these days. Have only spent one day there, while on a cruise. Wasn't nearly long enough.
Have fun, Lo

We use to live there when I was in the Navy - Lots of picture opportunities - The 16-80 Should do well in that arena

Yes, you "can get by with my 16 to 80 m m."
I've been to Key West. It's an interesting drive on the road over all the keys. The longer lenses may prove useful during the drive, but in and around the destination of Key West, your shorter zoom lens should suffice for nearly all your photography. You could keep your longer lenses in your car at the ready.
Consider visiting the Truman White House there.
Here are more attractions there: https://www.keywestnavalhousing.com/museums
Know that the City of Key West functions primarily as a tourist town. It does have some photographic houses.
Take plenty of bottled water. I drank way more than I expected.
