Originally posted by zx-m I did not think my F-1Ns should develop a slow mirror or problematic shutter in these conditions (as, to me, they are not that cold).
I welcome any comments.
Were they kept up, maintenance-wise? Common wisdom seems to point to a new Clean/Lube/Adjust to keep these working right in colder conditions.
For your hood vs. lens-cap debate, you could invest in larger snap-in caps that would fit into the hood. eBay sellers stock many different sizes and would ease your pain on the issue.
Please share some of these cold weather shots, I'm interested to see what you are shooting at these temperatures.
