Hi,

I agree. A zoom will be more versatile. A faster zoom more versatile. Many who walk to the village to the Paek take a 15-mile route, I didn't walk it but saw it from the train. Several camp enroute. Frequent showers can happen and certainly will happen in season.

Another poster suggested the 12-35mm a f2.8, a nice choice. I have it and like it. The 12-100mm f2.8 also. Neither would be cheap, both would be sharp.

Bring extra batteries and keep them charged.

I was thinking that too, the zoom is more versatile. That being said, is that extra 1 stop on my Sigma prime worth it over either of my zooms?
