I'm sure we all agonize over the equipment list before heading off: in 
the end for the trip to Nepal, where weight in the camera bag was 
weight I was carrying at 5500 meters, I went for:

2 Xpan bodies with 45, 30 and 90 mm lenes, one for colour, one for b/w. 
(and both to back up the other
M6 with 50DR summicron, 15mm Heliar (it slotted into the case and is 
soooo small) and 135mm Tele-elmar. B/W film
Bessa II with b/w film

I agonized about NOT taking a Rollei TLR, and having discovered I can 
carry a pack at those heights, I would take it instead of the Bessa.

Cheers
