Anthony Caffaro Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Shooting this weekend on 16 250 D on Arri BL. Its going to be cold 42F. Camera is good and I have 3 extra battery belts. I'm just worried that the film will get to brittle while in the camera. I assume if its running and I don't leave just sitting I should be fine. And just to be safe I'm probably going to put a jacket over the mag just to make it a little warmer. If anyone has an other suggestions or can just verify if the film will be ok in this temp. I'd appreciate it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I personally have shot in weather that was -15c in an ice storm and from a helicopter in the middle of January with the door off I think with the wind chill it was much colder (100mph + -10f out damn cold) look at the many productions that have been done on everest or the north or south poles, brittleness is not necessarily a problem.. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arround -20C you start having to worry! Only thing you may have problems with at a Balmy 42F (5.6C) is the batteries, stick them inside your coat. You probaly should be sure your camera was recently serviced - old lubricants can get sluggish near freeezing. Look for a copy of Kodak's booklet on "photography under arctic conditions" to see cold weather concerns: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professiona...ubs/c9/c9.jhtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
