I've used the M's extensively in the monsoon over the last few years (this
is the first year in the last 4 I've not been in India in August) and never
had much trouble with them, except one of my shutter releases is a bit
scrunchy now. The R6's, on the other hand, bit the dust almost immediately
in the same conditions.
