If you're going to clean out a Leica, do you use Steinhager? Bill Cassing Original message" Believe it or not - but I have salvaged a camera (not leica) and an electronic watch by rinsing in Vodga. The watch liquid crystal and timing actually started working while still submerged. Vodga is multi distilled water and alcohol, as pure a solvent as you'll ever find. It is so pure it is non-conductive, and several submersions in new fresh solutions should clear out all salts and prevent damage. It should dry faster also. The camera would need lubrication then as the alcohol would remove all oils. Bob
