I just take the camera and don't worry about it. In fact my R8DMR is sitting in my car right now having been there all yesterday and over night, the temps were only in the 15F range last night though. ;) Cheers, Gene ----- Original Message ----- From: bruceslomovitz at comcast.net To: lug at leica-users.org Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 12:50:50 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Leica] My latest trip Hi All, I just returned from a two week business trip to Anchorage, Alaska.? I was there for two weeks and worked crazy long hours.? However I did have a small bit of spare time.? But I was anxious about taking my M9 out into that dreadfully cold weather.? The temp rarely went into positive F. territory.? I was unable to take my camera into the building where I was working.? So if I had taken it out of the hotel with me when I went to work, it would have sat in the cold car for hours until I got out of the work spaces.? Going back to the hotel, parking the car, getting the camera, and going back out, was just to challenging a prospect. However, Alaska in January, in general, and Anchorage in particular, are spectacular.? Unfortunately, the ice and snow, and the crappy little rental car I had, made venturing out of Anchorage a non-starter.? I'm back home now in sunny South Carolina.? But for the future, do any of you have any suggestions as to how I could have produced more photo opportunities for myself. Thanks.
