Yikes! And it's 33C here. I'd seen that pic before, but never noticed the 
Rollei on the shoulder. Doug Herr has a similar, braving
the ice, pic on his site.
I'm hoping to join the Rolleicord ranks very soon. You can keep the ice 
thanks (unless it's in a martini shaker).
Cheers
Hoppy

More than reasonably well. I didn't intend for my response to imply
anything else.

I sure know that feeling with blistering cold ...

Let's not talk about how cold aluminium knobs on a Rolleicord feel on
bare fingers ...
