Greg,
nice story reminds me of a trip to Sweden were we had to take winter pics of the then new German Railraod class 120 Electric (yep, shame on me). Got 3 cameras with me (Canon A 1, Mamiya RZ 67, and an old fully mechanical Robot Royal(24 X 36 with mechanical winder from 1950). Guess which works at - 35 degress ???? Yep, you are right the old Robot did the job. Car broke down several times, we left the road app 10 times due to ice. Think we will never get a rental car from this company again. No hotels or motels, we slept in some rr employees shelters (wood stove, nice to fire on with gloves, two to 3 story bunks) Frozen cans for food, frozen drinks too, only the "hard lemonade" was liquid)
All in all 2 nice weeks and some 15 great picsand a badly damaged VOLVO
