It's not really a problem, everyone knows you shouldn't go camping when it's
below -35C :-)
Seriously though, at these temperatures even the mighty OM-1/3/3Ti's have
problems unless you've serviced them for cold weather. The standard
lubricants tend to get a little stiff and the shutters speeds go way off,
especially the speeds below 1/60 (the slow speed escapement can really
slow down).
