Yup, here in Saskatchewan it's been down to the -40Cs this winter. My lubricant froze and seals cracked. Sent for repair its cost me more than the camera cost, but it's a lesson I have learned.

took my TLR out the other day during a really beautiful snowfall. i got some nice pictures, but the lenses got moist and the focusing knob got stiff :( probably gonna have to send it back for repairs. i wish i could shoot without worry in the winter, it's so nice out!

I wish I never watched this video. After my battery driven camera suddenly gave up in Tampere (Finland) in December, I decided that it makes no sense when it was cold. This suited me fine for many years.😇😊. Now I have to come up with a new excuse.
