honestly getting so sick of carrying three different Fuji primes around just to get a decent shot while hiking. I love my X-T5 but my bag is heavy and i keep missing moments because i am fiddling with lens caps and worrying about dust on the sensor every time i swap. so I was thinking about just grabbing one of the Tamron zooms and being done with it. my logic was that the 17-70mm f2.8 seems like the obvious choice because of the constant aperture and the stabilization but then I saw the 18-300mm and thought wow one lens for everything.

but I am worried about that 40 megapixel sensor on the T5. like is the 18-300 actually gonna be sharp enough? i dont want my photos looking like mush when i get to the Scottish Highlands in October. that trip is costing me a fortune and I need the gear to actually work for once. budget is tight around $800 tops because of the travel costs. it is just so frustrating trying to find that balance between not breaking my back and not wasting the resolution of this camera. has anyone actually tested these on the high res Fuji sensors yet or am I just overthinking the whole thing...
