Marty; I was recently shooting at -20f. XL1. No problems, except cold fingers!

Nice stuff. I am very impressed with the country my ancesters came from. Your techniques are excellent and convey a feeling of being there. Very good work.

Keep it up!

how do you get to those locales? are they just in your backyard? do you drive? helicopter? hike? etc?

Super! Congratulations. I really revived the quiteness I felt during the trip my wife and I made through Norway many years ago...
On the sunset "burn-in" risk: if you never set for high shutter speeds (>1/50 for PAL) and you don't get vertical streaking in the pics (well overflow and/or photon leakage), there is no risk for the CCD structure. Furher on it is preferable to go first for the highest acceptable F-numbers before adding ND filters.

My experience for 4 years with the XL1 viewfinder in cold weather never showed any issues. 2 times in the cold (20-30 degrees farenheit) and it slows down bigtime for me.

FWIW
