Thanks again for all this information and some more beautiful pictures. Yeah, I will have to make compromises to lower the weight of the backpack, because there is no way I can go with 30kg... Now if only the X-T2 comes with IBIS, I could at least consider leaving the tripod behind! Hope you get a wonderful tour this summer, and that you'll share some more pictures !

You're welcome :-) Number 2 is my fave, though the first one certainly draws you in in an impressive way. Thanks for the answers. If there is one thing I don't care for with the X-T1, it's the very limited autonomy. Although to be fair I have only used it with the 55-200 until now, and the OIS probably drains it faster. I'm gearing towards a 2 primes set-up to keep things light. I'm not so much for wide-angles so 35+90 would have been ideal for me, but I'm planning on acquiring the 60 since the 90 is quite a beast. 27/60 is a very lightweight combination, but I will probably wait until the announced 2/35 for its weather resistance which can come in handy. Now if Fuji were really smart, they'd make a f/4 24-70 or 24-90 companion to the 10-24, with WR and excellent quality, and I wouldn't need anything else. Great variability in the weather: I have done some hiking in the Kebnekaise area. Once in the last week of august, with obvious signs of autumn coming, and once again in mid-september and it was already a bit too late. I wouldn't have thought about auroras but that's a drawback with staying in huts, you're less aware of the surroundings at night. I'd like to make it to Sarek, I just need to prepare mentally and physically for the weight of the backpack... How much did you start with? Can you outline your trip itinerary?

Hello. Really good shots, and above average weather conditions for this place it seems :-) I also have the X-T1 and will bring it in places where power supply is not readily available (Greenland next). I am interested in knowing how you managed the autonomy: how long were you without electricity, how many batteries did you take with you, and how many pictures did you take? BTW, when were you there? I'd guess around mid-august: no snow, enough darkness for the aurora shot yet the trees do not show any sign of turning colors.
