Forgive me my giggling... hihihihihi. 
So much trouble with the cold! Temperatures of -20 C, -25 C, even down to -35 C haven't stopped either my Bessa R, my Leitz Minolta CL or my Leica M2 in Mongolia! Even my Eos 300D kept on working nicely, though, admittedly, I returned it into my coat (not just the pocket) to keep it warm.
Only my M2 has had an CLA which it needed because it was rather beat up when I got it first. But the R and CL haven't, and they perform well in the cold. This time I kept them in a courier bag, which are not very warm, but still they worked right out of the bag. I'm wondering, do you guys treat your cameras as you would treat yourself at freezing tempts? Or do you leave them outside to fend for themselves, like Mongolian dogs?
I agree that the III probably would benefit seriously from a CLA. When you get it back, keep it inside your coat when you go out and it should work just fine.
