The end of the story.

I bought a Sony A6600 and an 18-135 lens.

The trip is over. I took over 500 shots in the 3 weeks I was away.

Totally happy with my choice. I only used CIZ a couple of times, only to see how it works. I found most of my shots were in the lower ranges (25-75 mm) with some longer. Mainly shots from the boat on the river while cruising.
The image quality was fine(for me). not being a professional, I'm sure my standards are a lot lower than some of yours are. I found 18mm(=ff25) to be sufficient for street and interior shots.. At times I would have liked to have a wider lens but not often enough to really bother me, I might invest in a 10-18 mm if I find a good deal on line. no biggy.

I thank all of you who contributed to my decision. All the responses were extremely valuable.

To any of you considering a river cruise, Viking is a super great line to travel with. I will give them a perfect 10.

Thanks again.

Yes, I use the 10-18mm often. We do a lot of traveling and there are always vista shots that I want. Also, when you're indoors, a little extra coverage is nice to have.

Makes sense. Might be more valuable than a fast 35mm prime. With the blur feature on Lightroom, bokeh can always be created but if you don't have the right focal length for the shot you want, it's not going to happen.

I own the Sony APS-C 10-18mm f4 lens which I used when I had a Sony A6500 APS-C camera. When I moved totally from APS-C to fullframe Sony cameras, I kept this APS-C 10-18mm lens.

It has a unique ability. Its image sensor coverage is wide enough that it can be used fullframe on a fullframe camera from 12-16mm (with the lens hood removed), without getting any vignette, really.

Here a fullframe shot using that Sony APS-C 10-18mm f4 lens at 12mm on a fullframe Sony A9 camera, Environmental Scientist Brooke Hildebrand in a slot canyon near Upper Antelope Canyon, Page Arizona, USA.
