Hi,

It sounds like you were trying to replace primes with something more versatile, so I really think that a different zoom that is lighter and smaller would be the best fit for you. Sometimes you don't know that something is the right fit for your needs until you see and hold it in person. That's OK.

I do almost all of my photography on long hikes, so I 100% know how you feel about not wanting to carry around something that is too heavy. From my experience, gear that is heavy gets left behind a lot more than gear that is lighter, so I think you will get a lot more value out of a lens that you enjoy holding and carrying around.

The 24-70mm F2.8 lens is excellent, and not particularly heavy. The 24-105 F4 also produces really nice images, is even lighter weight, and has the advantage of the extra reach. Both are good versatile zooms that would complement your primes well.
