Well now I'm sure many of you re-call my unfortunate cow encounter with an 
M6 a few years ago. ;-) So I wonder how the cow "dung spray" over the M6 and 
myself would apply if it were unleashed over a digital camera? ;-)

I mean after all, I just wiped the rather smelly stuff off the M6 and had no 
choice but to keep on shooting. ;-)

A digital well covered and some what saturated with this unfortunate 
encounter of cow dung one would have to wonder if it would effect the digi 
camera?  As it didn't do "dung all" to the M6, but make it a rather smelly 
bit of a camera to this day if used on an extremely "warm day!" :-) But it 
still continues to work! :-)

Digital and electronics? ;-) Any volunteers? ;-)
