making a sacrifice to gods of the Plateau

Thank God i had another lens at the time!!!

nikon 18-135 G lens is very weak... i buried it there, breaked in two

It turned out, that two parts of the lens body are joined with latches only
so after a slack blow their unlocked and the tails broke off

As a result the following 14 days i was shooting with Sigma 10-20 only, which i took in foot part of the trip after big doubts upon a redundant weight

Have taken over 3000 shots with same lens, and still going strong. The key is keep it dry and clean. CWW

...must be Karma. Not 15 minutes after I posted the comment below I went to check my 18-55, as a backup for my next trip. Dead. Talk about weak - never left the pelican case the last trip, the focus motor must have got shaken a bit too much. Shouldn't have laughed. John

That sucks. Really, can't help but laugh and at least you followed the first rule of backpacking photography ...you have to bring back-up. Good shot. Reminds me of a few war shots I've seen, with the dead bloated body bobbing in the water... John

This is a dreadful lens, and I am sure this sacrifice wouldn't get you, guys, to Valhalla this easily, ahahahahaahahaaa

Wow, the lesson is; always take a spare or a light weatherproof wideangle compact...... Thanks for posting these interesting and highly 'entertaining' images!
