On Saturday I plan to head to Raduha over Durce, can someone give info if any special features to watch for and what the path is like, from Janezs pictures I noticed passage over Durce almost completely dry... thanks.

Yeah it really looks like it'll all fall through, given the weather we have... well the mountain will wait, some other time and thanks for info @Fifi

Well then I'll do it on Saturday, if no one has already it would suit me better^^. And safe steps to others

Well, the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 isn't too heavy, has around 400 g and it's also quality, unfortunately I don't own it yet, while I have Sigma 20-40 f2.8 which has a good kilo and is quite heavy

I personally use Nikon D90 and also take f1.8 lens to mountains (bokeh you know) in case of strong light then Cir.Pola filter on or something similar. As for lens weight, decide yourself what to carry and what not. I for example rather take two primes than a quality (read f2.8) zoom lens just because of weight . When I really want to be compact I still have older Canon S5IS which still makes nice pics..

yep I was also thinking about buying these, but after some research, I decided to buy others exactly because of these technical issues reported with the mentioned crampons. Hope you'll have more luck! Safe steps.

Even better, of course speaking for myself, I think 17-50 f2.8, unless you need a longer tele lens. I most prefer fixed lenses like e.g. 35mm, 50 mm, 85mm, of course all at least f 1.8 when talking about Nikons. I also have a zoom lens but it's often stowed away because of weight, size etc. I most prefer 35mm or 50mm regarding crop factor 1.5; 17-50 f 2.8 because of the range that's most common.

Does anyone have info on how it is from the Bukovnik direction via Durce?

Thanks a lot for the info @kucelj

That depends a lot on what boots you have, but you mean semi-automatic and classic crampons!

I'm interested if anyone uses Alpina Lhotse boots and how they perform?

And does anyone know what's with the MMarkacija program? Is it possible to get it anywhere?? thanks

I use them too and they are super.

There are also Timex and Casio for such use...

And do our rescuers use RECCO systems (radars) too??
