Are you sure this works or have you been using the vodka for more than
solvent?  If you're going to clean out a Leica, do you use Steinhager?

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.
