I also was shooting the eclipse - south of Munich in Germany, we had
a clear sky - and I was standing in the cold for one hour. The
battery of my EOS 5 (which was already used for some rolls of film,
also in cold weather) was dead after the shooting! I shot one film
and some frames on a second one (both fuji sensia II 100)
Bye,
Marco
P.S.: Dieter, a down jacket works great in such low temperatures. And
always wear a hat or a balaclava, as your body loses almost 1/3 of
his temperature via the head.
