I've had mine in colder temps without an issue. I'm wondering if your rangefinder window fogged up. Or is it possible that you were holding your M such that your finger was blocking the window? I could see that, especially if you're wearing bulkier gloves. Put your finger in front of the rangefinder window, and the patch disappears. I found out about that when I was first trying out an M. I couldn't understand what I was supposed to focus with. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
