Lightweight backpacking option is easy, the DA21mm
That's my view too. And when I look back through the favourite shots I've taken, many of them were with this combo.

But then I'm a big fan of the DA Ltds; compact, lightweight, well engineered and a joy to use. I take out the 15-21-40-70 combo and it all fits into a ThinkTank 20 holster. I did acquire a 12-24 for a while. Absolutely great lens, but I could not justify owning it and the 15+21 Ltds... and to my subjective eye the images did not quite have the 'pop' of the Ltds. And as David implies, if you want full coverage (so also need to take out something to cover to standard to short telephoto range) you'll need at least one more lens a fair bit bulkier than the Ltds. But for filter work the 12-24 is much easier.

But Jules, you know all this . After all, I got addicted to the Ltds after seeing posts in 2010 by a certain... Jules

Three strong images Stephen... And the last one is terrific. Excellent perspective and you've caught interesting dappled light.

I prefer the first image - on the basis of the colours, contrast and definition.

I had an inkling from the intro this might be from the K30.. and very impressive it is too given how much I love my 15Ltd!

I guess needle and thread means stitching images together for the K30... but did you apply any other tweaks DrO?

And as for the grass - yes. Distracting as is.
