Your pictures look great! I especially like the close-up of the skis.

Thanks!  It is quite a crop from a Saturday shot.  I tried intentionally shooting some skis Sunday but didn't get the right shot.

If I may ask, is the 16-80 + 70-300 a common combination for you? I also own an X-S10 and plan on buying those two lenses, and was wondering how you find them.

I had a 55-200 and have the 100-400 that i'm trying to sell, it is just so big that while it takes great photos i don't use it so much.  Reflecting that mindset, I also have the 15-45 which really cuts weight for hiking and such.  I don't mind its idiosyncrasies because the lighter weight is so noticeable when carrying it for a while.  I like the versatility of the 70-300's close focus abilities.  And in that vein i also have the 16/1.4 which can focus close as well.

But yeah, for travel they're great as I can jam the X-S10, 16-80 (or 15-45), 70-300, godox 350 and 18/2 in a Peak Design 5L sling.
