[QUOTE="stmv, post: 796401, member: 10038"] Tonight, I pack for a major hike in the presidentials, so,, its the tradeoff of weight and flexibility. I am thinking of shooting mostly with primes. So, easy to pack 20, 35, 50, 105, 200. all fairly light weight, and at least the 20,35,50 are very small, I could switch the 105 with the series E 100 which is tiny for a 100 mm. Actually, a shoutout to the 100mm series E,, just blows me away to have a lens just a bit longer then current 50mm, be a 2.8, 52 mm filter, and sharp images. Best of all, fairly cheap on the used market, ok ok, I just talked myself into swapping the 100 with the 105 for additional weight savings. For cameras, I'll carry the D800 instead of the D7000 to pick up the maximum in detail for what are broad landscapes. In this case, I want every pixel possible, even though the D7000 would be so much lighter. I'll strap on the manafrotta tripod, it is heavier than my lightweight, but with the wind, and rough rocks, I want a more stable tripod then some flimsy one, having a tripod tumble down those sharp rocks, better to be safe and carry the extra weight.
