Hello,

Planning to start a long hike soon, need to pick a single lens to take with my XT-2.

I have two prime lenses:

1. 14mm f2.8

2. 23mm f2

I'm struggling to decide which one to pick. I'm going to shoot mainly landscapes but also take images of me and my family.

I'm limited to take a single lens due to weight constraints. We're going to do a long walks with avg ascent of ~1,5 km every day so taking too much gear is not a good idea.

My brother is probably going to take with him a Panasonic lx100 .

Any advice?

Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't bother with x-t2.

Take your x100s and get used to do handheld panorama. With just panning the camera and not the body, I became good.

The panos can either be stitched in Lightroom or the free Hugin.
