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.

You probably mean the 12-100 f/4: I have it, but it is heavy at 560g and quite big; but yes it is very sharp.

And, like the 12-35, it is weather sealed!

Neither would be cheap, both would be sharp.

Bring extra batteries and keep them charged.

By all means!

Right, faster zooms are expensive though, I'm probably considered quite a miser on cameras (at least on dpreview) so I balk even at $500(CAD, which is approx $350USD) lens.
