No camera problems because of altitude, more likely due to cold. If you aren't used to altitude you may have problems - learn about altitude sickness before you go. I am bothered if I am above 10000' for long periods of time, and hiking above 13000' is out anymore. Consider taking a UV filter unless the blue haze is an effect you want. Consider a polarizing filter if you want to control glare on snow/ice surfaces. Where are you going? Kevin M.
