Gunna have a lota fun with that baby...and your other babies Geoff, a dream setup really, for the aperture I don't think it gets any better

Oh an yes the FLI cooling is excellent I have had two FLI's now (11002 and 16803) I ran my PL11002 at -35C all year and I run my 16803 at -30C all year (bigger chips reduce cooling) and used the same set of darks for nearly two years with both cameras
