Good for photography in cold weather (changing focus and rotating dials)?

Robert, These are a little on the bulky side. You could for sure handle a focus ring, but not sure how tight you need to be for the other dials. The other issue I wonder about is putting them on and taking them off. The are a snug fit and do not come off easily. Most of the time I just let the fingers turn inside out when I take them off or have to work carefully to get them off finger by finger. Not sure if you will like that.

I believe you will have no problem. Handling keys, coins, binoculars, and telescope have not been a problem in most cases.

these would be too thick for me to work with an SLR, but not impossible. I would look for a 2mm glove and balance the warmth/mobility advantage. For point and shoot cameras, these would work well. I use them on the water with a small camera.

Yes you should have no problem focusing this camera. You can adjust the dial for your vision. This is a great camera, you will love it.

I think this would be fine in that situation. I've used it in snow and light rain and it worked great. My camera is not weather sealed so I worry about wet weather

I have no experience with those kind of ambient temperatures. With only a 90 day warranty be cautious. I had 3 out of 4 of these cameras simultaneously quit working altogether after one year.

Thanks for the good question. Our company is based in New Hampshire and we always test our cameras in our own climate that can have a few winter nights down to -10 degrees F and an occasional summer day above 100 degrees. For colder temperatures, we have checked with our customers in Minnesota as well as Alaska and Canada. The specified temperature range, like all commercial (non-military) electronics, is - 4 degrees F to + 140 degrees F. Please note that is the only temperature range that we support officially. We understand than in Minnesota it gets colder than that. As long as the camera stays on continuously and is never turned off, the camera's own self-heating should allow the inside of the camera to stay above -4 F even if it gets down to -20 F outside. If you are in an area that gets winter nights below -20 F, you would need to remove the sunshade of the camera (with 2 screws) and then wrap insulation around the camera's cylindrical body. Then, as long as the camera isn't turned off, in our experience you're good to -35 degrees F. However, this camera would not be suitable for temperatures of -40 degrees F or if you plan to turn the camera off and on. It might be possible to use some stick-on electrical heating pads similar to the types that are used to keep car or generator batteries at a reasonable temperature, and we're just mentioning that without implying that any use of the camera outside the official temperature range is supported by Sharx Security. Does this answer your question ?

Yes, I highly recommend this lens as the budget option to my aurora borealis photography workshop clients, since it should be very sharp in corners. The premiere nighttime lens I recommend is the Nikkor 14-24mm, about 6x the cost.

I have used it indoors on a stormy day to photograph a painting with no outside or interior lights and it did a good job. I have not tried to use it outside in dusk or night conditions.

I use it on the North Shore of O'ahu for surfing pics. It is perhaps the most widely used lens there. Works great in sunny conditions, but tends to struggle when it's overcast as it is only an F5.6. If you plan on using it for indoor sports, it is not "good". It is OK at best.

I was not sure when I first looked, then I realized the different models had different temperature capabilities, and if I recall some of them had different focus ratio as well.Keeping this in mind, Read descriptions carefully, the differences will be more apparent!

Antonino, We use our cameras inside, so do not know if they would work outside at that cold temp

The outdoor range that I shoot at has thoroughly covered benches and on overcast days its fine. What I like best about Nikon is how clear they are. Good luck, Paul

The directions actually say to leave it on in cooler weather to prevent condensation from forming within the camera. I leave my camera on 24/7/365. It's been in freezing temps down to the single digits (Fahrenheit) for the past two winters and is still working like a champ!Both the camera and the receiver need power so both would have to have a 240 to 120 converter. Try contacting the manufacturer and see if they make a 240 model.

It is quite cold. Works best if your camera has manual white balance or color/tint settings. You could also use acetates over the lights to warm them up.

Great if you keep the battery warm. In the current 0F weather it's visible, but dim. Anything above about 25F seems to be best. Using it in the fall it was very bright even in full sunshine. Be careful it to point the scope towards the sun, even with the cover on.

Where the picture comes out of the lens, turn that dial very slowly clockwise or counter-clockwise. It's best to freeze dvd on words then focus. Keep in mind this is an inexpensive unit so you are not going to get a sharp focus. It will be a little fuzzy.

Just a follow up on my previous response to your question. I use the TC-20E III with the D7000 and the AF-S Nikkor 300mm f/4D IF-ED lens and get excellent results on bright sunny days. If its dark and cloudy it will search for focus, but then I just switch to manual. Hope this helps.

I used mine at an indoor range at 25 yds. Don't see why it wouldn't handle colder weather. Think my fingers would freeze before this thing. You might have problems seeing the red dot on a sunny day the farther you go out. It's a cheap enough product to give it a try.
