Re: Light setup for hike X-E4 with 14 2.8 or 16 2.8?

The 16/2.6 has soft corners that never fully clean up due to how much correction it needs. The 14/2.8 is fully corrected and is a fantastic lens for hiking and will be what I’ll pair the 60/2.4 with for my lightweight hiking kit, substituting the 60 for the 70-300 when I want extra reach.

Also, a lowepro dashpoint 30 works flawlessly with either of those lenses and the X-E4 attached to the shoulder strap of a dedicated hiking pack. I use an Osprey Stratos 24 for my day pack and a Gregory Optic 58 for my multi-day pack and love that setup.
