Hi! I can literally _see_ your point . I was assuming that you are limited by a total added weight to your hiking gear. If you're willing to carry a 80-200/2.8 zoom lens, this is totally different story and as a matter of fact a ground totally unknown for me. Boris On Wed, 1 Oct 2003 08:33:46

Have I missed something here. Did someone suggest a 100mm would be useless for a landscape. That's so far from the truth that I can't believe someone would say that. And if someone is saying that a 100 mm macro is useless for landscape it's almost as absurd. 100 mm is the perfect landscape lens

I am planning a hiking trip in fall and I want to reduce the my lens weight. I want to replace my 50mm/2.8 macro & 100mm/2.8 macro with Pentax 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5 AL IF. I neither need macro capability and nor the speed. And I will be using Pentax 28-105mm f/3.2-4.5 between 30-100mm. Takin
