So far water has not fazed them any more than any other camera I have used. It amazes me haw many people buy Leicas due to their reputation for ruggedness , and then are afraid to take them on trips and out in inclimate weather. They are made to take this type of use, so go out and use them for crying out loud. I'd bet Ted would not even think twice about using his Leicas, or any other camera in any type of environment.
