There are no beaches as such, but I'll never be more than a hundred meters from the ocean. I know how to protect a large telescope, but I am concerned about taking/using my Leica. Should I be? Any suggestions for protecting the camera? <<< Don't drop it in the water. Seriously, it shouldn't be a problem. I spent a winter on florida bay conducting tours for unsupecting vacationers. Little did they know they'd get a full-blown diatribe on how the industrialized word had destroyed the Everglades (OK, so I exaggerate a little). I had my SL, 400 f/6.8, 90 Summicron-R and Trinovids with me the whole time. The SL I stupidly sold several years ago but the lenses and binocs are the same ones I have now, 20 years later. Just don't drop it in the water. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
