if you have a bit of cash you can buy a second hand one on ebay, and sell it on the forum afterwards - it might not cost you anything...
good luck and enjoy the northern light!

good comment about the lenses, i think i might just stick to my original plan which was to only bring the 10-20 and 18-135 and enjoy the trip instead of changing lenses every 5 minutes!
i was thinking about taking my compact tripod... now i am not too sure..?

i will have a second body (K5) for my safari trip in Jan, as my friend will lend it to me. for the general trip i will be backpacking and dont really want to bring two bodies, although i do like your idea.
the 10-17 is a very different lens than the 10-20, i went to mauritius with both and used both the same amount, the 10-20mm for proper landscape photography, the 10-17 for fun shooting people / creative shots.
also the 10-17 is a super compact lens.
might get the AA battery adaptor

i liked the idea of the 30mm 1.4 (because i also will need it for filming when i am back) and think it will work well for some landscape and city shoots (maybe at night although south american's cities at night wont actually be safe enough!)
i like the idea of prime, because it forces me to move around in order to frame. the 18-35 f1.8 does look like a great glass though!
i will follow your advice and take the 55-300mm then!

planning on taking the 10-20mm, and 18-135mm WR, probably the 50mm too as it's small, maybe the 10-17 fisheye (as i find it fun to shoot with), and thinking about getting another nice prime lens (sigma 30mm 1.4 possibly).

in 10 days I will be going travelling for 3 months, and it's kind of a one in a lifetime thing so I want to make sure I get the best pics out of it.
I currently own a K30 that I love, i never found any limitations to that camera (well except the lack of external mic entry but irrelevant for this travelling purpose).
I was thinking maybe I should upgrade to a K5 II or K5 IIs or K3, but i am not too sure it's worth it.
I know there are reviews etc.. but i just wonder where i would see improvement. in other words i would love if you had a view on it which would be either:
- don't upgrade you dont need it the K30 is good enough for you
- if you upgrade you will have this that and that
thanks
