The problem with taking my M bodies is that means another battery charger
and more batteries.  I'm thinking about it but every time I think about
something, my luggage gets heavier!!
I have my 19 R lens which is huge that I'm taking and can add
the Voightlander 12 which is tiny.

Tom has some hand-knit wool socks that he swears keeps his feet warmer than
anything else.  I carry silk-liners that weigh nothing but are so warm!

Thanks,

Tina
