I experimented with some cheap Walgreens ISO 400 print film and my OM-1
last night. It got down to around 29 F. The OM-1 functioned perfectly.
The sky had too much glow for really good astro shots; although I
captured the Pleiades pretty decently.
The real test comes in January. I used to shoot with my Canon FTBn in
Wisconsin Winters at -10 F temps. The film got so stiff it would barely
advance. The camera kept working though.
It will be interesting to see how the OM-1 does this January.
