Weighing up the choices...

 * DSLR body - 820g
 * (film) SLR body - 380g

Lenses:

 * 50mm f1.8 - 195g
 * 45mm f2.8 T&S - 640g
 * 28-200mm f3.8-5.6 - 500g
 * 70-300mm f4-5.6 - 570g
 * 500mm f4 - 3870g (if only I had the dosh for one).

Assorted filters, another 1000g.
A small tripod - 1250g

Much as I like SLR kit, 5Kg+ of gear is just going to be way too much to lug 
around on a long distance hike. Maybe, I could get away with just the film 
body, a 28-200mm zoom, and an ultrapod (110g) and use a digital point'n'shoot 
for the "snaps".
