I am considering changing from my Nikon D7200 to a full frame camera. I currently use a Tamron 16 - 300 zoom lens with the D7200. Is there anything similar for a full frame camera, with a similar size and weight?

Nikon has a 28-300 and Tamron has a 28-300 that you may want to look into.

I use a Nikon 28-300mm lens on my D750. It's a good all-around lens - at least for me.

If you decide to go with a Z5, 6 or 7 Nikon has a new 24-200. However they are backordered. It is possibly smaller and lighter than what you now have.

Nikon also has two new Z teleconverters that might operate with this lens. But they are very pricey. At the moment they say they won’t work with the 24-200.

As the others stated or for more IQ the Nikon FX 24-120mm Zoom. A friend has that with a D750 and I took a shot with it and it gives sharp and snappy images. The more extreme a lens is in focal lengths the less IQ, in exchange for convenience. I find that true of my Pentax system as well. I have friends with all of Nikon and Canon Full Frame and Crop Factor bodies and lenses. But yes, the glass is probably more critical than the camera.

You can go to adorama or B&H Photo's web site and see for your self, you can also see other camera glass to consider.

I have used my old 18-200mm DX Nikkor lens on my D850 with credible, if not impressive results. I shot in square (24x24mm) format, which I like to do occasionally. So you can use any lens you want, depending on what results you are hoping to get. (This was on a D850. The mirrorless cameras do not offer format options with DX lenses, as I understand it.)

But...using lenses like that on your full frame camera is going to yield results that are very similar to, or maybe slightly better than, you would have gotten by using that lens on the DX camera that you already have. You have to decide whether you are OK with that. I have a 24-120mm f/4 that I bought used as an alternative utility lens for my D500 at a very attractive price. It is a full frame lens, and it also performs very nicely on the D850, although for very critical usage, the 24-70 mm f/2.8 is still a better choice.

If I sere in your shoes, I would have no qualms about occasionally or temporarily using that lens you already have. But I'd not be real excited about spending money on a superzoom for the full frame camera...I'd just use the 18-300 on the D7200 and save my money for a better lens for the full frame camera.

The 7200 is a wonderful camera with many DX lens for it and is great for long hikes or periods of carrying a not so heavy camera. Full frames do have advantages and I would recommend looking for a system that would allow you to keep both using either for whatever purpose you may be facing.

The D750 with the 28-300; not that expensive or heavy. I have the D750 with the 24-120 f4. Not as long, but a stop faster, probably sharper. Rarely want to go longer, but when I do, just put on my 70-300.

Take a look at the Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD lens. The f/2.8-4 max aperture will help with lower light conditions. Tamron has been knocking it out of the park with their latest lenses. I like that they are fully weather sealed.

Your 16-300 has an effective field of view of 24-450. The only thing in Nikon would be this

You might want to look at the new Z-series from Nikon (Mirrorless). If you get the FTZ adapter with it you can continue to use your current Nikon lenses, and/or you can get a kit lens - their 24-70mm f/4 is pretty decent, or you can buy "better" glass. Keep your 7200 if you want as a backup. its still a great camera.

Here is another way to help you decide...
Go back and look at your pictures...look at your exif data...
What focal lengths do you really end up favoring...you might be surprised.

I use a Tamron 28-300 for years. Great lens. I have a Canon 5DIV and that and a Canon wide angle has been I i have taken all over Europe and Asia.

You can use the metadata filter in Lightroom to do this quickly.
