The silver oxide batteries that power the LX will crap out after about an hour at -40ºC, and you lose metering and slow speeds. The shutter on my LX continued to work at -40ºC for over two hours, giving times that were reliable enough for Kodachrome slide film. I gave up before the camera did when I cold tested the thing.
