[photo-3d] Re: cold weather effect on realist

[CanterMike@xxxxxxx]

This is a common problem with many mechanical devices, not just 
Realists or even cameras.  Many lubricants congeal in the cold, 
slowing or even seizing the mechanism.  The American military 
experiences in Korea led to the development of special lubricants for 
cold weather use, but I'm not sure that I'd want to try colloidal 
graphite in a camera shutter.

Perhaps the good Dr.T could recommend the correct lubricant to use to 
minimise this effect.
