Re: You can probably make do with what you have.

The 9-18 is nice, but i'd pass on that purchase.  The 7-14 is better but TOO HEAVY.  So is the nice Rokikon 7.5.  I would DEFINITELY not go w/out the tele end, and the 14-140ii measures up nicely!  Forget the pro glass!!!  (too heavy&not worth the toil for treking)

As I said above, there is no weight penalty in bringing the 20 and 9mm FE.  I would rather bring an ultra light tripod than a pro lens!  U can either go with a quality table-/boulder-top design, or something like the Sirui 025x, a full size carbon one weighing in at only 1.7lb w/ ballhead!
