So I'll be going solo through the Balkans from Pristina (Kosovo) through Montenegro and Bosnia for 17 days, in 2 weeks time!
The trip's likely to involve a fair amount of time in the mountains, but also some evenings out! Can't be more excited about it though it's my first long solo journey. Even the fact of 7 exams in the way can't stop the excitment!
I'll probably be taking the K5, 10-17mm fisheye, 31mm and the 18-250mm, a mz-5 body and a olympus XA (point and shoot in the pocket!)

So has anyone done a similar trip, and would know what to expect, or else, what would they bring if they were me, and had the choice of the equipment mentioned above, plus: smcM 28mm f3.5, vivitar 55mm macro 1:1, adaptall 70-210 f3.5, and some macro tubes?

Just be careful you do not get grabbed in the balkans...it can hurt.

Sounds like fun! Why the XA? It's good as film point and shoots go, but a bit limited. You need a W90 dangling from your carabina!

Honestly the balkans isn't as bad as most people would imagine! They are actually known for great hospitality!

Last time when I went on a long trip to Morocco with the Km and W60, the W60 took a mere 2 pictures for the whole trip, the XA is, despite limited, a very good thing to play with and as its a fixed focal length, I will know when I can use it, and the K5 itself is versatile enough with the 18-250mm.

Promise that I'll share some pictures, but no garuntee of quality though
