I was walking around my town today and it looks like winter is setting in. The temperature was about -15 C. My trusty little Hexar stopped working, and the LCD was just blinking dashes. After I got home I thawed it out and it worked fine.
I know it is going to get a lot colder here. We are pretty far north, near geographic Siberia, but I'm really set on photographing what might be my only Siberian winter.
I have been thinking mechanical is the way to go, based on what I've read here, but I'm not sure.
So..what are my best options for cold weather film gear? I really prefer rangefinders, but I'm more interested in what would be the best tool for the job. I've considered a Zeiss Ikon. I'm not opposed to buying Leica, but I would rather invest in lenses than expensive bodies--based on my own limitations, of course. 🙂
Thanks,
DB
