Perhaps E Beigler may help you. I recall he uses cameras in the cold weather
in the Alps and I think he is partial to a Rollei 35. His is from France.

Fellow Rolleists. I have a high probability of working in Antarctica over the next winter. I have no experience with cameras in such cold conditions, so I am looking for any advice about selecting cameras for these conditions. I know about servicing the shutters etc. ("winterising"), I am really looking for input about what are issues with various types of cameras in the cold conditions, and any shooting issues I may not be aware of.
I am thinking about taking something like the following:
- The Rollei 2.8D (of course!), probably in the metal case.
- A MF SLR so I have a long lens for wildlife shots. I own a Kowa outfit, plus have a Mamiya 645 (would have to buy lenses). Buying another camera would not be out of the question.
- Thinking about taking my Linhof Super Technica for some 4x5 images.
Any comments about the wisdom of the above.
All input greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
