Richard, my true experience in Tierra del Fuego, close
to Antarctica with the 2.8C was to take photographs
under -15ºC to -20ºC, it worked fine without special
preparation, however I had the camera against my body
under one of my coats. BTW, if you think to take
photographs at-30ºC, -40ºC without protection for the
camera, the things are different.-
All the best
Carlos
