I did not own a 135mm; I could have used it quite a few times. BTW I understand that the original Leitz 135mm was developed for mountain photography. I had some problems with moisture and humidity because we hiked for days in torrential monsoon rains. By all means take a 35mm spare camera. Don't drink or smoke at altitude; the most important UV filter is the PF60 sunblock for your body. Have a great trip! Oliver
