Note to self: SDM doesn't work at -9°F
Up in the White mountains of New Hampshire doing a bit of hiking. Way up on the mountain today it was sunny but windy and *very* cold. I thought the SDM on my ancient and much abused 16-50/2.8 had given out and went through the day on manual focus. At the end of the day (upon return to reasonable temps) all was well again.
