David -- I don't think I'VE ever been at 32 below (Celsius or Fahrenheit), much less my cameras! That's serious frostbite weather, especially if you're touching the camera with bare hands at all. I'm impressed the R8 worked as well as it did; as you point out, extreme cold can just shut down electronic cameras. I take it you had no trouble with tearing of the film or static electricity? Even with a "winterized" camera those are the things I'd be concerned about, along with fogging of the glass from my breath.
