Multifunction Lens Suggestions

[Hobi]

Hey,

I'm planning a trip in a few months and figured I might see if I can improve my lens selection for that trip. I have a Sony a6600 (so an e mount would be preferred), and I would consider myself an OK photographer (good enough to know what and how to do what I want to do).

Right now I have these lenses: Sony 55 - 210, Sony 16-50 (the ones that came with my first camera, an a6000), a Rokinon 14 Ultra Wide, and a Rokinon 135 (that I got for astrophotography when I was just getting started).

What I am looking for is a relatively multifunction lens to minimize lens swapping and weight.

I am planning on hiking some trails (nothing too long, but long enough that it would matter) where I am planning to take as many landscape photos as I can, but I would also like to zoom in as needed (animals, flowers or distant landmarks etc). I am also attending an Expo and some more close up attractions so something that would work for portrait-ish like stuff would be cool too.

If I can't have something that meets both uses, then I would lean towards the landscape/hiking photos for a new lens.

My price range is preferably below $1000 CAD (before taxes, I'll make that exception), but I can be persuaded to increase that for something that is highly recommended. It's a big limiter, but the trip is going to be expensive enough by itself .

Any advice and recommendations you guys have would be great. I've done some reading on reddit for recommendations so I think I know what way to go, but it would be good to cross-reference that with your opinions on the matter.

Thanks

(Let me know if there's a better place to put this)
