Just got done making some pictures in 25 degree weather... only exposed a single sheet for a 25 minute exposure. Upon completion of the shot the dark slide went in nice and smooth so no fear of popping / film shattering.

I placed my lens inside a wrap, then placed inside a plastic bag. Currently the camera and lens are inside my camera backpack acclimating to my interior room temperature of 61ish degrees. I can still tell that the interior of the backpack is fairly cold.

Other than letting it sit overnight is there a strategy with shutters ... set them at X speed, preview open etc. Work through the speeds the following morning to get some of the lube working?

I have a pretty mint 12 “ GD dagor in a serviced ilex 4 by Flutot. I’d rather not destroy this shutter for experiments in the cold. I rather enjoy the lens.
