Photographer who hikes or hiker who photographs?
Well that depends are you carrying 3 lenses, a tripod, a large DSLR in a backpack for a 1 mile hike or are you carrying a backpack with lunch, extra clothing, and water, and a small format camera for a 10 mile hike? ?
I am more in the 10 mile hike range, lunch, 10 essentials, and a few other things...you can see that my camera is not exactly small...and I do often carry the Pro 7-14 lens as well,,,which is weighty. On really nasty hikes I do downsize to a smaller camera... and maybe a few smaller m43 lenses. Case in point...in Peru at 15,000 feet I was in no mood to carry a tripod.
The backpack mentioned does have the ability to carry several lenses in the rotational fanny pack (a genius invention) and there is an insert for the top compartment as well to carry a few larger lenses...
