It's -34 C here now and will be getting much colder. My OM-1s work at these
temperatures. It sometimes gets down below -50 C here but I've never tried
photography when it was that cold.

Nowhere special, just here at home in Ottawa, Canada. We usually get a week
or two where the temperatures dip down to the -30's, and then you get to
add whatever wind chill there is to that temperature (which doesn't affect
OM's of course :-). However, this year has been unseasonably warm, it's
only -10C right now, usually it's closer to the -20's at this time.
Hopefully
the temperature will start dropping soon, we're still waiting for the canal
to
freeze over so that we can go skating on it.
