Thanks for the tip, I'll carry it separately and swap it with UV when needed.

My polarising filter's just arrived, and I have tried it out around my house. Thought it was a dud, because it "didn't work" when I looked through it, but once on the camera it works just fine. I'm sure there's a good reason for that...
Anyway, sky is definitely better, with detail to clouds, and house windows don't have such stark reflections. Wish I'd had it when photographing glaciers in the Alps. Still, better late than never!
generally for travel photography, this are my recommendation. <snipped daunting list>[/quote]I'll only be going for a week first time, and will just take my camera, 2 batteries rechargable, UV & Polarising filter, several prepackaged lens wipes, 2 memory cards, card reader, pen drive & blank CDs.

Good point. Though I DO have a thing about travelling light!

I have been trying it out, vignetting doesn't seem to be a problem, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

I have to, as my camera doesn't take ordinary size batteries anyway. Not sure if that's a good thing or not!

Also, it was much harder than we thought to get the images burnt to a disc

What a lot of trouble you had, I certainly don't want that. Fortunately my partner will be living in Delhi, so we'll have his laptop we can download photos onto.
For extra peace of mind, once he has internet access sorted, I'm thinking of uploading my photos onto the net.
