K-S2 Lowest operating temperature?

johngs · 04-19-2015, 12:48 PM

I see the K-50 and the K-3 have a "cold proofing" feature where they can operate down to -10 Celsius.

This feature is not listed in the K-S2 specifications, so I presume it doesn't have cold proofing?

Does anyone know what is the lowest temperature a K-S2 could safely operate in?

In January, I used the K-3 as low as minus 8F with no problems.
