I'm planning to take:

  • X-T2 body with spare batteries and plenty of storage cards
  • XF 18-55 for general scenery, street, day and evening photography and perhaps some video
  • XC 50-230 for landscape and wildlife (hope to see some bears!)
  • Samyang 12mm F2 prime for wide landscapes
  • lightweight tripod for sunrise/sunset captures

I'm contemplating picking up a variable ND filter but in two minds... any thoughts on that welcome. Also any other must have items I'm missing or general tips - please do call out!

So let me get this straight, you're taking your whole kit and you want to know about an ND Filter. I would get that and a CP filter.

One thing though, I would look for a Fuji 14mm F/2.8m those are reasonable, have excellent clarity and sharpness, with almost no distortion.
