nickmak said:Depends where you are going to. If you plan to climb Mount Kinabalu, don't take so much stuff. If you are planning to stay on ground zero, then more stuff is better. I went up to the summit of Mount Kinabalu before and if you are prone to altitude sickness, you will get it! And take only what's neccesary, possibly a wide angle and a telephoto zoom will do. Don't expect to bring a birding lens to the top because there ain't no birds that fly that high... except the metal ones! :bsmilie:
