Wine cells - temperature never gets too low underground - and
alcohol freezes below 0 celcius, the stronger the wine, the
more resistant ( -40 to 50 degree proof for spirits?)
Ha Ha, I was referring to WeinCell (correctly spelled) batteries...My
Leicaflex came with the mercury cell - a very old one, I guess,
but it still works. Bought a WeinCell a few weeks ago, just in case ...

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?
Best Regards,

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
