[Leica] M8 failure in snow

[Richard Endress]

Hello all, 

Once again my beloved M8 has failed in damp conditions. Shutter quit when I got caught in a rainstorm. Same thing today when I was out in a heavy snowstorm today. Shutter quit after about 15 minutes and I was shielding the camera in my jacket but once the top deck got wet. Anyone else have this happen. I am sure many of you have been shooting in similar conditions. Any suggestions for a cure. I know the camera will dry out by tomorrow. But the event will be over. I am disappointed with what I thought was my bullet proof camera. I guess I am back to film in my M6.
