Last summer the LCD on my electronic SLR blacked out and then the whole camera refused to work. It was about 46C. Next year, during the Northern winter, I'm going to Russia and across Siberia. It will be -30C most of the way. > > Literature for the Canon 10D says the operating temperature is 0-40C. Leica do not give operating temperatures for the M7, but presumably it can be winterised. Any experiences with M7's and digitals in extreme weather? I know M6's and before are very weather-tolerant. > > I am really interested to hear what people have to say, particularly in what way any failures manifested and may be averted. > > Thanks, > > Marty > > _____________________________________________________________ > Get your Free Global name@sharkattacks.com e-mail address at http://www.sharkattacks.com > -- > To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
