I expect that you prefer Nikon branded lenses, but I use a Sigma 18-300 lens most of the time and love it. As far as quality, here is a photo taken at the full 300 end of the zoom and a blow up of a part of it. I think this is great detail.

Fantastic lens and clarity 💥💥💥💥💥

Ck out refurbished lenses from major sellers such as KEH, Adorama, etc. I just bought a 18-140mm Nikon lens w/vr to use with my d5500 to save weight. I got mine for considerably less than $600. I have used it for about 2 wks in good light & low light situations, with & without flash & I am very pleased with the results so far. was using this camera with a 18-270mm Tamron & quality. is about the same sharpness with less weight. You can always add a longer zoom lens in the future when you catch a good buy. Just my 2 cents worth.
Will definitely due the job till I can afford a Z50 with the two lens kit.

The 18-140 is not full frame and needs an adapter. The 24-200 is rather large but needs no adapter. The best travel option is the Sony RX100m5+ or RX10m4 ! I lean towards wider angles for travel so the 18-140 for me.

There is a Nikkor Z DX 18-140 built specifically for the Z50 and Z fc. It is sharper, smaller and lighter than the F mount version. My wife uses it on her Z 50

You should review your images to see how you normally shoot. My wife just came back from Ireland recently and only took the i6-50mm kit lens with her Z50. It makes a really small and lightweight travel kit. I was concerned that she would be disappointed she couldn't get more reach than 50mm but upon reviewing her 300 plus images I saw that over 90% of them were at 30mm or wider and almost all the rest were between 30 and 45mm. Only two images out of over 300 were at 50mm. So, the lens you take should be based on how you normally shoot. In any case, if you do want more reach but still want your travel kit small and light, the Z dx 18-140 is the way to go. I would not get the 24-200, which is great on a full frame body, because it is much bigger and heavier than the Z DX 18-140 and at 24mm it will not give you a wide angle of view for landscapes on the Z50's crop sensor.

I do not have the camera you refer to. I a Nikon user. I am asking about the z50.

The 18-140 is a new lens for the z series, it does not need an adapter. As a Nikon user, with both the z50 and d500 I am not interested in switching systems.

Many times people get so lost in their delusions they lose sight of the question asked.

I think the 18-140mm would be the best choice.

Do you anticipate needing WA?
The 18-140mm would be far better. The 140 gives a 210mm equivalent for reach which is good. Where a 24mm on a crop is only 36mm equivalent which is not wide at all.

The OP is looking for a lens, not a camera, already having a Nikon Z50! "I own the Nikon z50 ..... I want to get one lens."

24 vs. 36 at the short end on your camera. Personally I would go with the 18-24

My vote is for the 24-200. That is the angle of view of my Olympus 12-100. I have have had it off the camera only for a very few times (for the telephoto on the ferries and a few extreme wide angle interior and extreme wide landscapes). Other than the 5 or 6 times total, it has been the 12-100 (or what would be your 24-200).

On a crop camera as OP has the 24 is 36.
