Yes
Just woundered what you guys would take camera wise accessories?

I have a Samsung nx200

20-50mm lens
16mm f2.4 ultra wide angle lens

I tripod

What else would you guys bring lens wise or other accessories?
 
A nd filter, incase you want to do some shallow dof but the light won't let you.

Cleaning bits.
 
I wouldn't go without a cpl to really bring out the blue skies and cut down the glare
 
Looks like the nx200 has a cropped sensor but I'd still always go for something longer than a 50mm focal range for any sort of wildlife. Of course if you only shoot landscapes those lenses should along with the recommended CPL and ND filters and cleaning stuff should be fine.

I always carry a spare battery and a ton of SD cards; and normally a remote shutter thing if I'm taking the tripod. Maybe a lens hood too.
 
I've been in Thailand for almost 3 months now. I'm carrying 7D, 10-22, 15-85 and 70-300. I'don't think I've used the 10-22, the 15-85 gets used all the time other than when I'm in zoos when it's the turn of the 70-300. So if I wasn't into wildlife I would only carry the 15-85.
 
It would really depend on your interests I spose...

Landscapes - Several filters including, a Polarizer, ND and ND grads.

Wildlife - 50-200mm zoom lens.

Street shooting - 30mm f/2 lens.
 
I leave for a two year trip of Australia, Indonesia and S.E Asia on sunday.
My carry on luggage consists of -

Nikon D300 + MB-D10 grip
Nikon 17-55 2.8
Nikon 70-200 2.8 vr
Nikon 105 2.8 vr micro
Nikon 1.7 TC
Nikon SB900 speedlight
6x EN-EL3e battery's
2x sets of AA Sanyo eneloop's (for the flash)
5x 8GB Sandisk Extream CF cards
Olympus TG-1 (for underwater and times when an SLR is not a good idea)
Better Beamer
Set of soft grads, three stop solid grad and a polarizer
Hyperdrive Colourspace UDMA 2 750GB (invaluable for backing up pics)
Lens cloths and pens
Lenscoat rain sleeve
Lowepro Flipside 400AW (carries all of the above)
Laptop

In the hold luggage is -

Various chargers
Masterplug 4-gang, 2 USB surge protected extension lead
Think Tank Hydrophobia 70-200 Flash (for rainforest treks)
Induro monopod with Custom Brackets tilt head
Full sensor cleaning kit

It sounds like a lot but when its packed away it really doesnt look much, and if your going to be heading into remote areas its better to have everything you need with you.
My main subject matter will be wildlife with some landscape and portrait thrown in as well.

Hope my silly list helps to give you some ideas and hope you have a great trip ;)
