Ros,
it is probably the shutter. Last weekend I have been shooting with
my R3 (ex-Philippe`s camera)

this camera Miha ?
this is Philippe at the shrine, blessing it...

in Salzburg and Chimsee at freezing weather. I don`t know the exact
temperatures, but hat and gloves were mandatory! The camera felt
fine on two LR 44 alkaline batteries for 12 hours hanging off my
neck (but my neck didn`t ;-)).
BTW, does anybody know how do Wein cells cope with the cold waether?

Ron,
I had this problem a couple of years ago and it was solved by a nice
cleaning by a local technician - the shutter got gummed up? or
'gommé' and was caused by old grease/oil/lubricant - worked
perfectly afterwards.
It cost me 30 euros at the time.
If the camera perfomrs ok at room temperature, that will be the
first cause to investigate after ageing batteries.
Wish you good luck.

I've recently started having issues with my trusty R3 in cold
weather (when it gets to zero degrees). When on auto mode the
shutter stays open for around 4 or 5 seconds. It's as if the
batteries are not working properly. I replaced the batteries but the
problem still persists in cold conditions.
Has anybody else experienced these problems? Is there an easy
solution? I read somewhere that replacing the two silver oxide
batteries with one lithium type might help, does anyone have
experience of this?
Thanks for any info
Ron
