Hi all

I'm going on a trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas in October with my ageing parents and brother.

This is likely to be the last time we ever do this together so I'm keen to capture some decent photos.

I was just going to upgrade my smartphone but then thought this would be a point of regret, so have instead decided to upgrade the kit lens that came with my Sony A6000 and take that instead.

From some research, my main options for a single does it all lens appear to be between the Sigma 18-50 and Tamron 17-70.

The Tamron is larger, more expensive, and not discernibly better for photos as far as I can tell, so I'm leaning towards the Sigma.

Does this sound sensible please? Any other options I should be considering?

The photos will be landscapes, people, and perhaps some night stuff in Vegas.

Thanks.
