I've used mine at a lot colder than -18, about - 35! :) And it worked just fine. At present I'm using the new re-chargable power pack which attaches to the bottom of the winder and it works perfect from the tropics to the arctic. Have a good trip and many great exposures. ted Ted Grant This is Our Work. The Legacy of Sir William Osler. http://www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
