Damn, that's cold.>>>> Hi Carl, When I used to shoot a fair amount in the arctic, -25 to -50 below using M cameras I never had them "winterized" for better lubrication. I just took them north and shot away and they worked fine. I had read at one time that M Leicas' didn't really need to be winterized, so I never had it done. Sure things tightened up, as in focusing rings, but not stopped "cold!" :) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
