Update on M4-P Shutter problem

["Antony Soicher" <asoicher@aztec.co.za>]

Hi

A couple of weeks ago I posted a message detailing some problems I 
had with my M4-P shutter which got stuck at slow speeds.

Well, now that I have recovered from the$hock of hearing the co$t of 
having both my M4-P's undergo complete $ervices at Leica I can tell you that 
the main problem seemed to be one of corrosion - hopefully they will now be as 
good as new ... but with the aim of avoiding future problems while 
still using the cameras in the field can anyone give advice on how 
best to protect the cameras in varied weather from cold, snow, rain 
dry heat and humid heat. In short I want to USE my cameras wherever I 
am but would like to take sensible precautions. Anyone got a list of 
do's and don'ts besides the obvious don't get them wet or take them 
underwater ?

Thanks
