Well, down here in central Mississippi the humidity in the summer 
hovers around 90 - 95 %, if not higher.  Like they say, it is not the 
heat, it is the humidity.  Anyway, I haven't run into any problems with 
my M6TTL other than having to wipe the condensation off the viewfinder 
when I leave an air-conditioned building and move outside to shoot.  
Though we're not at the equator during the rainy season, I think the 
same Leica practicality would present itself in such a situation.

Speaking of humid - hope to see ya'll down in the Big Easy this weekend 
at the LHSA spring shoot.  I, for one, am looking forward to it!
