Well, I'd budget 20 lbs to clothing and toiletries. The more comfortable I am, the better. Then 10 lbs to photo gear. I guess it would depend on what I am shooting. My 4x5, 1 lens (tessar type) and 6 film holders plus a very light tripod weighs no more than my DSLR and 3 lenses. If I'm shooting landscapes, forget the DSLR. If I'm shooting people & events, forget the 4x5. But to the DSLR & 3 lenses ... FA24-90 -- a practical and excellent lens, though just a bit big. A50/2.8 macro -- sharp all the way around. FA35/2 -- perfect walking-around lens.
