There was no effect on the camera or lens. Also, I used the Nikon in very dusty conditions in India last year photographing tigers with Jayanand and there was again no effect on the camera. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/YMT+Bandhavgarh/YMTCrowdW.jpg.html Howard > Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 20:10:59 +0100 > From: Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> > Subject: Re: [Leica] M8 & 8.2 opinions > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > > Bullshit.
