Preparing to travel to Qingdao, several shots are entangled.

If you are not satisfied with the wide-angle end of 18-55, then the wide-angle ends of 16-85 and 18-200 are similar, but not much wider. Only 12-24 conforms to your idea of upgrading the wide-angle end, and this lens of Sima is a Quan Huafu lens.

So if you only want to upgrade the wide angle, only the first of your three schemes is more suitable.

As for the telephoto end, the first two schemes have not improved much. The telephoto end of 18-200 is enough, but the imaging and distortion of the lens with this large zoom ratio are not satisfactory. The only advantage is convenience, which eliminates the trouble of replacing the lens. But if you are interested in photography, you will soon be dissatisfied with the picture quality.

I don't know which focal segment are you more interested in, wide angle or telephoto, or do you use it more frequently?

Generally speaking, when traveling to shoot scenery, you will use the wide-angle end. From this point of view, we can consider upgrading 12-24 first.

However, if you are very interested in the telephoto end, you might as well hold the wide-angle end with 18-55 first, and then buy a medium telephoto lens separately, but this will increase the burden and the trouble of replacing the lens.

You can only choose between pursuing image quality and pursuing convenience. How to choose depends on your own needs. No matter how much advice others give, it may not conform to your shooting habits, hehe.
