Brian, Why not get the smaller, lighter, cheaper ($200) 100/3.5 macro for hiking and simply leave the 85/1.4 at home? The 85mm is really too good to sell--a wonderful lens, one of Pentax's best. And a slightly longer macro would serve for both landscape details and closeup work. With lenses, it's always "cheaper to keep her." --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
