Good day all,
I currently own a P25, a Cambo WDS w/Digitar 43mm lens. I also have the Mamiya AFD II body and several lenses. I'm looking closely at an Aptus II-8. I've been reviewing many of these forums and I am sensing a theme or undertow of Aptus backs in general and below-freezing weather are not a good mix. And there in lies the rub ... If this is true, it would be a problem for me as much of my work is in the winter and in the deep freeze.
What is the true story via fact or experience that you or someone you know may have had. If I go out and shoot at temperatures of below freezing (sometimes as low as -10F), will the back malfunction on either the tech camera or the AFD?
Any and all help you can provide is very much appreciated!
Take care and have a great 2016!
Jeffrey
