I've got some blues: and greens: and reds, too: [EDIT: strange, but the embedded adresses of the pictures don't work here ... anyway, they're all in my blog linked in my signature]

problem with low temperature is mainly battery drain, as already mentioned; but then there might be a limit where the camera would stop to work - I didn't yet explore that one, mind (was out last week with probably -3 to -5 degrees Celsius, no problem whatsoever with my DSLR, and I'm sure that...

if pressed like this I would be forced to choose 35 mm on my film camera or equivalent 17,5 mm on my FourThirds camera why "boring" 35 mm? because for me it would be the most universal focal length: 50 mm (or equi 25 mm) would be too narrow especially for landscape and architecture, and...
