After hurricane Mitch in Honduras, I was wading knee deep through mud on my way to an isolated village. My M6 slid off of my shoulder into the mud. I fished it back out, washed it later in clean water and dried it by the fire. It was fine and I continued to use it. Another time, I dropped an M6 off the side of a canoe in the Patuca River in Honduras. The boatman snagged the strap with his stick and dumped the camera back in the bottom of the canoe in muddy water. It, too, dried out by the fire and was fine. These cameras were sent to Leica for CLA afterward and they found no damage.
