I was wondering how everyone here deals with cold weather. I know that my digital is only rated fro temperatures from 0-40C (32-104F). I know film cameras will go down to about ?20 but even then there are issues before that like brittle film, meters not working properly, etc. So how do you compensate? I really want to get some images of an Ice Storm if we ever have one. Not that I want one but if we get one I am ready, I even know which trees I want to shoot! I am just afraid that not only will my camera not work but that I may do some type of permanent damage to it. Does anyone have any experience doing cold weather photography? Or should I just move to Key West? zhounder aka Magick Michael
