My choices seem to be to buy a "cheap" waterproof point-and-shoot or to find an underwater camera housing to protect one of my Leica M's. I'd rather go the Leica route. My other Leicas will be traveling in a Pelican waterproof case. All of the camera housings that I have found are for Nikon, Canon, or point-and-shoot cameras. Is it the nature of this beast that the camera be auto-focus? Even the EWA type plastic bags do not include rangefinders in their list of supported cameras. How difficult would it be to focus through the waterproof bag? Any suggestions for photographing from a canoe with Leicas? Thanks! Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
