shot M6s in tropical storms and Carribean hurricanes. cared more about 
getting stunning photos than Leica mystique. I found doing my best to keep 
cameras from full immersion followed by BAKING in lowest possible heat of 
LPG oven to drive moisture out of the RF and shutter mechanism worked.

Anyone shoot their M7 in a very humid environment?
I mean REALLY humid, as in monsoon humid.

I'm guessing the best way to deal with this kind of
moisture is to dry the camera out every night with
Silica gel etc.

Any pointers regarding camera and lens maintenance
and preventing fungus growth?


thanks,

Feli
